The Empress Leaving Dayton
After passing big crowds in Dayton proper, CP 2816 is opening it up on the freshly manicured straightaway that stretches 15 miles to Crosby (UP double-tracked here in 2022). The train is easily making 50 mph here on the Sunset Route east of Houston.
At the left is milepost 330, measured from SP's former ferry terminal at Algiers, LA, across the Mississippi River from New Orleans.
