CPKC Gas Train at Eureka

With more than a mile of empty tank cars in tow, a CPKC gasoline train rolls through Houston on its way for reloading near the Port of Beaumont at Korf.

 

The train is splitting the ex-SP searchlights at Eureka. Though as can be seen in the background, they'll be coming down soon. UP is shifting the control point to the east as part of a reconstruction of the track configuration at nearby Eureka Jct.

 

The new CP was later cut-in (and the searchlights came down) in March 2024.
