Nice picture, thank you for sharing. I haven't been in the Houston-area for several years, not sure of where this lake is located at in relation to Houston. Could you explain the location and what route the special is on (former MP or)? Thanks.

Lake Ray Roberts isn't near Houston; it's north of the Dallas-Fort Worth "Metroplex" between the towns of Tioga and Pilot Point.

The rail line through there is ex-MoPac (originally T&P) and was also used by the Katy to access Fort Worth from the north.

South of Fort Worth I know it has at least gone to Hearne on the old SP....
