WillowBend56 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Union Pacific Railroad is celebrating 150 years of existence by parading one its big operating steam locomotives through Texas---definitely a part of the UP system now, but not more than 30 years ago. It arrived in Houston from Shreveport and Lufkin a few days ago. It's laying over at the Amtrak station at 902 Washington Ave. today and leaves tomorrow at 8 AM toward College Station and Hearne.

JLWM8609 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I checked it out. There was a nice crowd there, and I got to hear the whistle a few times. I hear it's departing at 8am and heading out to Navasota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
