Steam & Excursion > AFT Move Notes- Ft Worth to Dallas TXDate: 03/01/21 02:09 AFT Move Notes- Ft Worth to Dallas TX Author: BoilingMan Ft Worth to Dallas
Sunday February 29, 1976 32 Miles, All T&P Press (apparently) rode the entire trip No Service stops. The track has since been removed short of the site.

And then they had the gaul to ask T&P for another steam engine which T&P did not have.

Anyway, I took this while we were in Dallas. SR This might be worth it's own thread...  Date: 03/01/21 13:35 Re: AFT Move Notes- Ft Worth to Dallas TX Author: Frisco1522 The 638 saga was a sad one. It was beautiul when dedicated and got vandalized and trashed to badly they scrapped it. Even back then, I guess nothing was sacred.
