    While sitting in Memorial Park, waiting on ILBBC-21 (UP 1988), KCS's business train rolled through around noon. Headed west on the Sunset, but was behind a parked eastbound manifest. Last I heard on the Glidden Sub freq, it was between Sugar Land and Rosenberg.

    Thanks for the heads up. However, I can't go chase it. It will be another month before I can get behind the wheel and drive again.

    Must have been a taco run, as I saw an update today that it's already northbound in Arkansas.

    Hmmm..... I saw it at Memorial Park, too, behind a stopped train. Suprised me!
    I took off to chase it, and took a short video in Stafford, just east of US 59. It had stopped at US 90 at S. Gessner to pick up or drop off some people, otherwise, I never would have caught it. Not a great video, but sometimes you get what you can get.

    Guilty. I work a side job in a nearby neighborhood.
