hindesky Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 The Heritage Fleet was in Houston the last several days taking city dignitaries and customers on small tours of the track. I saw the trains parked at the Amtrak Station a few days ago so I parked at the station and tried to take some pictures. The HPD officer wouldn't let go to the other side but I was able to get some pics of it. He said this was its' last day here. They were about to leave for a tour. My pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UP hasn't announced the 2024 schedule yet, but they do say that Houston is one of the anticipated stops.
