[BVARC] 2816

I'm hearing a rumor that the 2816 will be coming back through Houston on
her way home, with the Laredo-to-Kendleton leg occurring on June 17th.
I would assume the Houston pass-through would occur the following day.
Can anyone confirm this?
Also, I am sad to report that the 2816 was involved in a tragedy
yesterday. A lady was trying to get a selfie with the train as it
passed through Hidalgo, Mexico. She was struck by the locomotive and
killed instantly. Prayers for her family.
Stay SAFE, brothers and sisters.
