This TexRail train set was built at Stadler's Salt Lake City, Utah, complex.
Southbound BNSF train had TexRail cars behind the locomotives at LoDo Siding, Denver, CO, 3 June 2019. TEXRail (also known as the Tarrant Express Railway) is a commuter rail line in Tarrant County, Texas, United States that provides service between downtown Fort Worth and DFW International Airport via Grapevine and other Tarrant County communities. It is operated by Trinity Metro (formerly Fort Worth Transportation Authority) and started service on January 10, 2019. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 06/03/19 20:00 by cozephyr.

Bummer I didn’t know when they were leaving. Glad you caught some photos of them.
I’m curious if BNSF picks them up directly from Stadler. Or does Utah Railway grab them, I’ve seen them drop tank cars for the SLG&W. Or does UP grab them and interchange at Provo? Nathan Posted from iPhone |
