Grapevine Heritage Rail Road Conclusion...

I had a really good time yesterday. The Stock Yards are a really good place to people watch. You see all types. There is such a huge difference from Fort Worth and Dallas. Dallas is very metropolitan and 21 century. Fort Worth is just the opposite. It is unusual that they are this close.

Here is a link to the pictures I took.

This is a movie of Big Red, the 1953 Vintage Diesel Locomotive, moving our train in position. You will notice that at the end, "Puffy" is already attached to pull us to Fort Worth.



This is "Puffy" at the "end of the line" at the Fort Worth Stock Yard Depot. He was taking on water to "refuel" for the return leg of our trip.



And finally, the infamous Long Horn Steer Cattle Drive. For some reason, I expected more cattle than this. I guess this helps to make this a little more safe...



Later...
