Taking the Turn at Victoria

After KCS rebuilt the former SP Macaroni Line in 2009, they had UP rebuild the connection at the south end of the line (which is still owned by UP).

 

Here, prior to the CPKC merger, KCS's F9's take their business train through that 10 mph connection track to join UP's Cuero Sub at Victoria. The train will then continue down UP trackage rights another 100 miles back to KCS rails at Robstown.

 

The track in the foreground is another rebuilt connector, which allows KCS trains to access the Victoria Industrial Lead as an alternate route to Bloomington.
