Eureka Curve
As part of a construction project to widen the road that passes beneath the middle of the junction, new bridges and new alignments have been built at Eureka in west Houston.
Here, soon after this new alignment's opening, the eastbound Sunset Limited rolls across new bridge and new track as it takes the big turn at Eureka on its way to an early arrival at the Houston Amtrak station. The old bridge is to the left of the train, partially behind the ballast pile.
