Southern Belle at Eureka
KCS 1 leads the Southern Belle, symboled BLRKC22, making the run into Houston on UP's Sunset Route, splitting the ex-SP searchlights at CP Eureka west of downtown.
Shots of this train's southbound deadhead move the previous weekend were unfortunately not meant to be, as UP held the train in the first siding outside of the terminal for over 7 hours (yes, for that long!) due to congestion. This time, with executives on board for the northbound trip to Kansas City, UP gave them the railroad all the way from Rosenberg to Beaumont, making for a good excuse to skip class this morning.
