DFWTrains

I video trains at just about everywhere I can with most videos coming from Frisco, College Station, Fort Worth, and Dallas. The railroads most commonly seen in the DFW Metroplex are BNSF, Union Pacific, Amtrak, TRE, DART, FWWR, DGNO, KCS, with many visitors such as NS, CSX, and Ferromex. In College Station, the UP Navasota Sub runs busy with heritage units and KCS, NS, & CSX power. All of my newer videos are in HD 1080p so sit back and enjoy some trains in high definition. Feel free to subscribe and like or comment on my videos. Thanks!

    There was a time in 2021 when they still continued on to eighth Avenue yard I was very lucky to capture the Grapevine train for the first time at W. Peter Smith St., Crossing but it would also be my last as a year later that’s when they discontinued going all the way to 8th Avenue yard the only times they go there is if they have to meet the FWWR Cresson turn

    My Cousin goes to Texas A&M and was getting ready to go to class after arriving on campus and watched this magnificent steam train pass by before going to class recorded the whole thing and sent me a video I was so jealous and he hasn't stopped talking about it since. Also this is going to show my lack of train knowledge but what are the cars the big boy is towing between the tender and diesel loco are those like fuel tanks or extra coal also what's the point of the diesel train being there is it actually the one pulling the cars or is it just at idle providing power for the cars

    It is easy to get there, but it’s in the thick of the homeless area and the area I was standing may have been gray area for railroad property. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to go back to. Venture at your own risk
