FL9

We will have short posts for the next two days as Christmas approaches, and then Monday I hope to start the last chapters of the trip home from Montana.  Today we have a subject that is somewhat in line with a white Christmas, although not as white as Denver right now.

I was on the Brookside Drive overpass in the Dallas neighborhood of Tenison in February of 1993 when I snapped this picture of a KCS train southbound on its way to the AT&SF Dallas Yard only a few miles further ahead.  Today the site of the old AT&SF Dallas Yard is occupied by the DART maintenance yard and shops; and this track north of there to the new connection at Tenison about a half-mile behind the train in this picture is no longer in use.  Someone correct me as it has been several years since I have driven past here, and I think the rails have been removed and the right-of-way railbanked by DART.

Today KCS and DGNO trains follow the old SP right-of-way from Tenison to the east of this location down to KCS Junction where they get on the UP to do their interchange business.
