Nostalgia & History > Where is this?Date: 06/16/07 16:16 Where is this? Author: jackpot Honestly. I have no idea. I do know that it is somewhere on the Cotton Belt, probably near Fort Worth Texas, around 1970. That's GP9 3647 on a local freight;the train has an SSW wide-vision caboose. The structure on the right has the legend "? & D Mills"
the slide came in a box of a bunch of old slides that I've been scanning. Date: 06/16/07 19:21 Re: Where is this? Author: ssw That'd be Grapevine, TX
Here's the tourist operation, the "Tarantula" operated by the Grapevine Vintage RR. Bless this poor locomotives heart, it's now named "Puffy" and has the name emblazoned on the tender. I'm surprised Con or Shane didn't beat me to that one :-) Bradley Linda Waco, Texas Date: 06/17/07 00:44 Re: Where is this? Author: texaswestern70mac wish i woulda been around to see when the sp ran that line. too bad they abandoned it 1 year after i moved here (1992). ken fitzgerald says big sp motors came thru there on a quite regular basis back in the 70's and 80's.

Author: WrongWayMurphy In a few years that will make a good "now & then" photo, next to the
new ColoradoRailcar, or whatever they decide on, service from the Big Airport to Dallas & Fort Worth. Date: 06/17/07 15:04 Re: Where is this? Author: xtra1188w ssw Wrote:
