Just after sunrise on one of the longest days of the year, a clean CP SD70ACU leads an empty grain train northward on the West Belt, within view of Downtown Houston. On a clear summer morning, the skyline of the country's 4th largest city looks good.

Under clouds that mask the skyline of Downtown Houston, a CPKC business train rolls northward on the West Belt in the Near Northside. And it's a busy day on the West Belt. As the biz train passes Tower 210 here at Collingsworth St, two freights roll south of the other mains.
CPKC so far has kept KCS's gorgeous F9's and is continuing to use them for business trains on former KCS territory. This is one such example, returning from a trip to Laredo. And although the train still consists of KCS's passenger cars, when this was taken about a third of them had been repainted into CP's Tuscan Red.
