<p>As noted in the UP blurb, as well as articles in the Fort Worth Star Telegram, the Tower 55 project is a big deal. I have been through there several times in the last month. The track and signal work appears to be significant. The crossings and signals, as well as underground communication cable ways, have been reworked big time. When it is done, it should ease the bottlenecks associated with Tower 55, which has been shuttered for years.</p> <p>I plan to go up to Dallas in a couple of weeks and ride the Eagle from Dallas over to Fort Worth. Although I have ridden the TRE on numerous occasions, as well as the Eagle, I have never been able to ride the Eagle over the TRE. </p> <p>If Amtrak could convince the TRE to allow the Eagle to use its right-of-way regularly, as opposed to the UP line between Dallas and Fort Worth, it could eliminate the backing into and out of the FITC, which is a relatively complicated procedure.</p>
