[quote user="bakupolo"]I made it to Tower 55 last weekend. Oh my goodness, I never knew there were so many trains anywhere. I parked behind a building supply company on Vickery St. and just walked over to the tower. It's located below a mixmaster of two major freeways and every direction I looked there were trains waiting to cross the intersection. I suppose tower 55 controls all the tracks there. I also saw a cute little 3 unit passenger train painted kinda like a Texas flag. It had a diesel locomotive up front - I think, but I didn't recognize it. Fast looking: not a Genesis, more like a TGV without electrics. There was a gang of maybe 25 rail workers at the double intersection, and several of the men gave me dirty looks so I stayed back a ways from the tracks and them. I also learned that the Amtrak station in Ft. Worth is a short walking distance from Tower 55 and has quite a bit of traffic by itself. Also an Amtrak round trip from Austin to Ft. Worth is 46 bucks so I can ride up there (cheaper than driving a car), stay in one of the many hotels near the station (right by the Convention Center) and walk around to unlimited train watching, then ride the train home.It stops at Temple on the way. And I plan to get to Longview ASAP, but that's a longer drive. Thanks, guys.
