Photo ID: 109483 Date Shot Photo By Friday, September 22, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Wharton Wharton, TX 162 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Rosenberg (KCS) CPKC A northbound CPKC manifest sits in the relatively new siding of Wharton on the north side of Wharton, TX. This siding was built at the start of 2023. A few miles further is the CPKC yard of Kendleton, which serves as a crew change point. If the yard tracks are full (or cannot be blocked), northbounds will tie down here at Wharton. Such is the case today as this northbound waits for a new crew.
