You're tearing my heart out with these videos of the good times.
I loved running 1522 in TX except for the damned water.

How did they do that?

Nobody hanging out of the cab but the back seater.

Amazing.

Or pass illegally like that idiot in that F150 when he's pacing 3985 up the highway!

I think realist is the envy of any railroad man - getting to run a chalenger at his (then) young age!

Roanoke, Tx.  My old stomping grounds.  Nowadays your video would have stopped before the Marshall Creek bridge 
as the Roanoke traffic would have stopped you from catching up to 3985.

next stop ..... Argyle

 

That is so true, today one would not be able to get any video and ever catch back up to the train probably before it left Denton. All those areas of grass are now covered in houses.There used to be one red light at Watauga, one in Keller and if I remember right Alliance parkway, then none till Denton... how time have changed!!!

While hanging out at Babe's last night, I was looking at the building across the street and wondering if you still own it.
