FL9

The location where this picture was taken in Dallas, TX is now behind the high fences of DART’s light rail maintenance facility, built on the site of the old AT&SF Dallas Yard.  There was no indication of that back on January 6th of 1991 when one could always find many locomotives laying over from the various intermodal and merchandise trains running north and south out of town.  This morning everything lined up like a good pool shot to capture two clean warbonnet B40-8W’s on different sets of power laid over at the Dallas engine terminal.

While many of these units still wear their warbonnet paint schemes today 15 years later,  they are as chipped and faded as the memories of Dallas Yard as it used to be.
