After racing past big crowds on its way to Houston, CP 2816 pauses on the main at Fauna for a service stop. Between swarms of railfans and the CPKC steam crew surrounding the locomotive for maintenance, it was hard to get a clear shot here. This is at the end of the stop, with everything packed up and people clearing out so the The Empress can get back on its way.
After this 15-minute stop here in northeast Houston, the Final Spike Tour would continue on the Sunset Route through the Bayou City before calling it a night at CPKC's Kendleton Yard on the far opposite side of the metro area.
