We were heading to Target and Deerbrook Mall. Finally gave up and went to the Target in Atascocita. Headed to the mall now.

I just came through on KWD at 11:45 and it was clear. I did see the train still stopped further south on the tracks though.  4951

When it first stopped like 8 +/- hours ago the Train had a mechanical problem.  The UP came in and split the train to clear KW Dr.  While waiting for repairs to be completed the engineers ran out of hours.  They were waiting for a new crew to be brought in, recouple the cars and get the train moving.  Most likely with it blocking both KW Dr and NP they are in the process of getting it moving. 4951

Ohhh that makes sense. At least it was just a mechanical problem this time. 4951

Sadly Kingwood is way too big to be hemmed in on the entire west side by the UP RR tracks. But because of the way Northpark and KW Dr. were built and the close proximity of the tracks to Loop 494 I don't see any kind of simple solution. I it highly unlikely that they will change the track to be elevated in our area it would cost way too much and elevated grades for trains need a very long  run so as not to be steep. And to put an overpass or underpass for the roads would  have to start at least 1/4 mile away on both sides of the tracks. Perhaps over time the RR will use these tracks less. It has happened in other areas like the old Katy RR line and the one in the Houston Heights, they turned that set of tracks into a walking trail. But a lot still moved by rail so I don't expect it soon. 4951
