Belle Business Train at Collingsworth

Under clouds that mask the skyline of Downtown Houston, a CPKC business train rolls northward on the West Belt in the Near Northside. And it's a busy day on the West Belt. As the biz train passes Tower 210 here at Collingsworth St, two freights roll south of the other mains.

 

CPKC so far has kept KCS's gorgeous F9's and is continuing to use them for business trains on former KCS territory. This is one such example, returning from a trip to Laredo. And although the train still consists of KCS's passenger cars, when this was taken about a third of them had been repainted into CP's Tuscan Red.
