VICTORIA, Texas — Kansas City Southern trains on the rebuilt line between Victoria and Rosenberg will be moving more quickly beginning Monday.
Trains have been traveling at 10 mph as residents along the line adjust to having training passing through the region again. The speed will increase to 25 mph Monday.
Except for segments where there will be speed restrictions, there will be further incremental increases in July to reach the maximum scheduled operating speed of 49 mph.
