Western Railroad Discussion > More of Fort Worth area yesterdayDate: 09/05/11 16:16 More of Fort Worth area yesterday Author: lotharb Starting with Tower 55 in early afternoon, I stayed a bit after the Amtraks and slowly worked my way back north to home
1. At Tower 55, UP 8099 sneaks by, from Dallas with a manifest 2. UP 4394 heads north with a very long string of empty hoppers 3. BNSF 5402 leads a manifest south, after a very lengthy wait for the travails of Amtrak #21 Lothar Corinth, TX    Date: 09/05/11 16:23 Re: More of Fort Worth area yesterday Author: lotharb 4. BNSF 6724 leads a short vehicle train over the Trinity River
5. FW&WR 2014 with a cut of cars over the middle bridge over the Trinity River 6. FW&WR 2013 with a 45-car cut of cars over the eastern-most bridge over the Trinity Lothar    Date: 09/05/11 16:31 Re: More of Fort Worth area yesterday Author: lotharb 7-9. How about the Grapevine Vintage Railroad, a tourist operation from Grapevine, to the Stockyards and back late in the afternoon. This was the Tarantula train, before the steam required a re-do. Check #9, seems pretty little girls do know where there's a camera

11. BNSF 672 waits with an ethanol train for a new crew at Lake Wanda 12. Late-day sun brings out the best in colors of a lengthy stack train, just north of Lake Wanda Lothar    Date: 09/05/11 18:44 Re: More of Fort Worth area yesterday Author: HomerBedloe Hey Lothar, nice photos from a fellow Ft. Worthian...or whatever I am in North Richland Hills!
I see the center line for the third track through T55 is laid out in photo 3! When that's done in about 2 years, you'll be standing in the middle of BNSF Main 2 if you take the same picture!
