Nostalgia & History > Santa Fe units at Midlothian,TxDate: 10/30/24 07:14 Santa Fe units at Midlothian,Tx Author: gcm Oct 1976
Looking north towards Dallas on the Cleburne-Dallas line. In the distance is the abandoned Tower 94 at the crossing of the SP Ft.Worth-Corsicana route. 2789A was a GP7B unit. 2929 was a GP9 Gary Date: 10/30/24 08:17 Re: Santa Fe units at Midlothian,Tx Author: tomstp Reminds me of a story I heard. There was a trainmaster or road foremon (can't remember which) that gave engineers hell on that run demanding they keep their speed at 19-20 mph and giving them a bad time if they did not. 20 MPH was the speed limit on the branch.
