Rare Visitors

In October of 1990 when this photo was taken we did not see a lot of Rio Grande power in Fort Worth except for the SP unit coal trains that came down from Colorado on the Burlington Northern.  Here we see one at the junction at the south end of SP’s Broadway Yard south of Tower 55 as it moves from the AT&SF to the SP Midlothian Sub.

DRGW 5317 South Fort Worth TX 10-90

This day’s power consists of two SD45’s, an SD40T-2, another SD45, and one more SD40T-2.  A far cry from today’s pair of MAC’s or GEVO’s……

So is this off of the Allen St bridge with Magnolia just out of the picture to the upper left?
