Dallas section of Lone Star |
| Description: |
The Dallas section of the Lone Star (cut off the main section at Ft.Worth) sits at Dallas Union Station. Most of the original tracks and platforms have been eliminated in the remodeling of the station site. That is the Hyatt Regency under construction to the left. Ex-Santa Fe 10-6 sleeper Pine Lodge (built in 1950)along with an ex-Santa Fe Hi-Level coach round out the consist. I believe the E unit was ex-UP. |

Lone Star-Dallas section |
| Description: |
Racing east between Ft.Worth and Dallas on Texas & Pacific trackage is the Dallas section of the Lone Star. An ex-Santa Fe sleeper and Hi-Level car were switched out of the main section at Ft.Worth (it continued to Houston). I believe the Santa Fe had a Dallas section from the Texas Chief but it took a different route to Dallas. |

Amtrak E and SDP40F units |
| Description: |
The two E units (looks like ex-UP) are being pulled off the northbound Lone Star at Cleburne,Tx. The Lone Star almost always used SDP40F units -- so the day before there must have been a problem with them as the Lone Star arrived in Houston with these two E units. The E's were used on the InterAmerican (a few serviced in Cleburne). SDP40F #510 and another ex-UP E will take the train north. The Lone Star never (at least I never saw it till this moment) changed power in Cleburne or anywhere else between Houston and Chicago (except for a unit added at Ft.Worth from the Dallas section). |

RI 655 |
| Description: |
Inbound to La Salle St. Station with cars built in the 20's. In the background a tower can be seen above the E unit. The still marked for the Erie RR freight station is on the left. Between this building and the one on the far left was where the trackage from Dearborn station ran. The RI engine in the yard was ex-RS3 #456. It was re-engined by EMD in 1957-58 -- just like the MKT did. |

Four EL E8 units rolling in Ohio |
| Description: |
Ex-Erie E8 831 leads 3 others west a few miles west of Marion,Oh. Moving at a fast clip - maybe not as fast as their passenger hauling days - but rolling quickly across the flatlands of this part of Ohio. The second unit that was smoking was 810 , one of the E8 demonstator units built in 1951 and purchased by the Lackawanna. Unfortunately this was the last EL train I ever saw or photographed. I had spent a couple of enjoyable days in Marion but had to get back to Texas. It was ironic and nice that the last train was all E units that I got to ride behind many times as a kid going to my grandparents. |
