You do not see a very many palm trees in the Houston, TX area. However, there are some here and there. One such example is this lone (and relatively short) palm tree located just northeast of US-59 overpass at El Campo, TX, 65-70 miles southwest of Houston. A pair of KCS GEs leads a half-intermodal, half-manifest train through the scene.

A northbound mixed intermodal/manifest starts to pick up some speed after slowing through the town of El Campo, TX. The train is passing underneath US-59, which has signs along the route indicating it is the "future alignment for I-69". KCS 5007 is one of 25 ET44ACs on the roster, and probably the last units ever delivered in the KCS "Retro Belle" paint scheme.

With the annual harvest largely completed at this point in September, a north unit tank train passes by fields of dirt with just some leftover stalks sticking up from the ground. Since the official approval of CPKC, it has not taken much time for KCS and CP units to become "mixed" across the former two systems.
