I took the Texas Eagle to Dallas last month.  Tower 55 is boarded-up.  It is not very photogenic.  I have never tried to get close to Tower 55.  Having said that, the closest street appears to be E. Vickery Blvd.  Or you might try to get on the South Freeway from E. Lancaster Avenue.  The South Freeway is the service road for I-35W.  You would have to take the southbound lanes from E. Lancaster Avenue.  I doubt that you would find any convenient parking.  I don't know how you could get real close to the tower without trespassing on railroad property.  Frankly, I don't think it is a good idea. I would opt for a visit to the old T&P station instead. The interior of the waiting room looks pretty much like it did when it was the major east/west passenger station in Fort Worth.  Moreover, if you have the time, take the TRE over to Dallas and have a gander at Union Station.  It is remarkable inside and out. And the train ride is worth the money. If you have not locked down you trip, consider a visit to the Fort Worth Stockyards whilst you are in Cow Town. Better yet, if you have the time, and you are in the area on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, book a ride into the stockyards on the Grapevine Vintage Railroad.  It pulls right into the stockyards.  You can get schedule and pricing information on the railroad's website.  Just google Grapevine Vintage Railroad.  Unfortunately, the steam engine is down for repairs, but riding behind a diesel ain't so bad.
