FL9

It was completely overcast this morning for the first time in awhile, and even though the sun came out this afternoon I stayed home to catch up on printing, paperwork, etc.  As a result, when it came time for today’s entry I reached into the slide boxes again and came up with a few more shots for the Dublin Sub back in ATSF days.  First off we see an eastbound intermodal climbing the grade between the ATSF Lamapassas Sub connection at Ricker and the first siding at Delaware.  FP45 #90 and two SD40-2’s provide the power on July 11th in 1992.

Further east at Dublin on March 6th in 1992 we bear witness to the passage of the 875 train from Los Angeles to Dallas headed up by a new B40-8W #540.

Now in February of 1992 we are on the south side of the high bridge over Mustang Creek looking up as a westbound train led by an F45 and a GP60M glides quickly across the structure above the shallow waters.

A few months earlier in November of 1991 we are a few miles further east at the east end of Primrose, TX as a short intermodal train led by a pair of SD45’s rolls off the last few miles into Fort Worth.  Out of service today, the double red CTC signals as the east end of the siding are plainly visible in the late afternoon light.

As I said last night, these shots are not always perfect, but regardless I think you will enjoy seeing things that are now only memories.  Thanks for looking!
