Empress at Englewood
Its been a long day running across western Louisiana and southeast Texas, but CP 2816's day isn't done just yet. The train has entered one of its bigger gauntlets: the Houston Terminal.
The Final Spike Tour is approaching the junction at Tower 87 alongside UP's massive Englewood Yard in northeast Houston. With a hump job on one side, and a line of pace cars on the other, the Empress will be navigating a number of tight interlockings and junctions as the train works its way past Englewood and through Houston.
