The Other Side of the Sugar Mill
While the west side of the former Imperial Sugar char house is a little more photogenic (see: www.flickr.com/photos/159558871@N05/53790300837/in/datepo...), the east side of the building still stands out among the otherwise unremarkable suburban landscape southwest of Houston.
This location along the Sunset Route, aptly named Sugar Land, formerly hosted the large sugar refinery that gave Imperial Sugar Company its name. The sweet stuff is no longer manufactured here, though several buildings from the facility have been preserved as a nod to the area's history.
Here, CP 2816 runs eastward past the former sugar mill and past large crowds lining UP's Glidden Subdivision.
