Dallas section of Lone Star
Title:  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
Title:  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
Title:  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).
