The Rest of Saturday Afternoon

Lots to do here at the end of the year, so in short here are the rest of the pictures from last Saturday afternoon!  First off down in the Trinity River bottoms the BNSF 9945 leads a loaded coal train from North Yard over the UP Choctaw Sub Main One southbound towards Tower 55.

A few minutes later here are the two DPU’s shoving hard as the front half of the train is on the grade up to Tower 55.

Next up is another loaded coal train, this time on the BNSF Fort Worth Sub.

The BNSF 5324 South leads a loaded grain train over the Trinity River just south of Tower 60.

Later in the afternoon a manifest train train led by the BNSF 1030 is eastbound on the BNSF Wichita Falls Sub two miles from CP11 where it will travel through the connection to the Fort Worth Sub and into Saginaw Yard.

Finally just after sunset the BNSF 7615 East with four elephant-style units is on the Wichita Falls Sub at the old Cranz Farm crossing one mile from CP11 waiting for its turn to use the connection to get to the Alliance intermodal facility.

Tomorrow I’ll have my last photos for 2007.
