Chasing the Fort Worth & Western
Author: KB5WK

Last Sunday 03/29 in North Texas. Weather was perfect all day.  Me and a buddy went out to soak in the sunshine and catch some FWWR.  We got wind of a Cresson turn departing Hodge yard around 1 pm. Timing was good and here are a few shots from last weekend.  The train had some MOW in the way in Cresson yard. The train stopped for about 45 minutes so I was able to do a few HDR shots with my Canon 5Dm3.

1) Trinity Park - Ft Worth TX.

2) East of Cresson. Winscott Plover Rd. (HDR)  

3) East of Cresson TX.

1) FWWR 2016 stopped for rooster shots. (HDR)

2) KCS Frac sand load OKCAL-25 was tied down at the siding west of Fort Worth. Finally got moving and we caught it at the west end of Cresson yard with a BNSF leader. FWWR will deliver to the Texas Pacifico RR in Brownwood.

Nice shots. FWWR looks good with the uniform paint and unit models--bet they really sound good too.

Great shots. Where does the Texas Pacifica deliver this train to?

I always thought FWWR was a cool operation, thank you for posting.
