I just found a website gendisaster.com It lists various types of disasters by state.It appears that you can post newspaper articles or photos to add to it. we...
I was wondering if anyone had any news on the progress of the old T&NO Rosenberg to Victoria line. I know here in Wharton they looked at the Colorado River...
Last week I drove by the end of track at McHattie, just southwest of Rosenberg. The KCS had pushed a string of gondolas out on the little bit of old track they...
Funny, I was just going to post a question about this issue as I saw your post. Does anyone know if KCS received the $ 50 Million FRA loan? I know they applied...
KCS plans to have the line finished by the end of the first quarter, 2009. This will include bypasses around El Campo and Victoria. Needless to say, the...
I believe that bypasses around Victoria and El Campo ARE NOT in the plans. Specifically, KCS has (at least in the local media) been quoted as saying that it...
I don't think they are bypassing El Campo, because the city could not secure the land in time for construction. As far as Victoria goes, my assumption would...
In order to get the route open by the end of 2008 KCS will use second hand rail and industry track grade ties to construct through El Campo and Victoria on the...
Consider this. The cost of relaying the tracks in through the city with NEW crossing gates, NEW crossing pads, NEW signal wiring, NEW detection circuits ...
As mentioned earlier, ROW acquisition across open country in the sense that there is no existing corridor is extremely expensive in this area. Lots of very...
Just as a side note. I have the chance to talk to UP guys every week and from what I have been told numerious times, UP has NO plans of rerouting tracks around...
There are no SPECIFIC plans, but the UP has made the commitment to work with the State to develop the plans, with all of the funding issues years in the ...
Concerning the Houston Comment; UP should have never let the Bellaire line go; as it could have still been used as a west bound outlet for trains westbound to...
Haven't been to Houston lately, but as far as I can tell, there has not been any work on the South end, not even the location of a material yard (something in...
UP did not sell the Bellaire Line. The sale to Houston Metro was originally executed by Southern Pacific in the early 1990's when SP was controlled by the...
Just another example of how Ed Moyers and crew burned the furniture (in this case part of the house) in order to make cash flow on SP look like something it...
In gendisasters.com, is the Houston Texas Daily Age newspaper office explosion in 1896. VP and General Manager was injured and his steographer was killed....
On Saturday, there were two trestles being refurbished with large steel I-beams, one north of Beasley, and one on the south. Also, there was a trackhoe...
UP is laying Two main lines, at least now, from Post Oak Road to West Jct. In the future, 2 main tracks will be from Missouri City to West jct. Dominic Mazoch ...
... If the UP had not taken over SP when it did there would be even more important pieces missing. ... Wasn't the H&TC line from Eureka to Navasota originally...
Flashback: Dispatcher Spring, this is the DAHOM dead in the siding at Bryan. Any idea where our limo is? So, did UP ever have the option to scuttle the...
As of 2/23 there was one bridge gang working to pull out a small trestle, another gang at another location pile driving steel "I" beams for bridge supports, at...
I wonder when KCS is finished rehabilitating the Victoria Subdivision will they give BNSF and UP trackage rights over it so UP can facilitate directional...
While anything is possible and there have been extended discussion over the years, the fact remains that there is no public evidence that UP has ponied up any...
I drove through Rosenberg today, and 2 grade crossings have been completed, and several more were being worked on. Work on a couple of bridges and some...
