QUOTE: Originally posted by brazos87 I agree about the BNSF approach. While you were in Temple, did you get to see any of the cabooses which have (rather crudely) Shoving Platform Only stenciled on the sides?
QUOTE: Originally posted by dldance I drove throught Temple TX Sunday afternoon and stopped to see the BNSF engine service yard. You would have thought that it was still owned by the Santa Fe. Almost every engine in the yard area was in SF paint (with a discrete BNSF near the locmotive number). I much prefer BNSF's renumbering approach to that yellow and red bandaid that UP is using. dd

QUOTE: Originally posted by donclark From the old railroads of BNSF, only the Santa Fe reached the Gulf in Texas, Frisco reached the Gulf in Mobile.... The old Fort Worth & Denver did exactly that, and the Frisco never ventured further south than DFW.... Therefore, the reason why there is so much former Santa Fe equipment in Temple.....
