Trinity Railway Express Action! Dallas Fort Worth Trains
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- Trinity Railway Express operates 68 week day and 42 weekend trains between Dallas and Fort Worth using EMD F59PH and F59PHI locomotives. This busy corridor has many hotspots, including the soon-to-be-replaced wood and through truss bridge over the Trinity River; Dallas, Garland & Northeastern's Mockingbird Railyard; and the Beltline Grade separation at Irving. Amtrak also runs this route, but it's not just limited to passenger trains either!
A BNSF freight made a surprise appearance during our visit-there are an average of 3-4 BNSF trains daily, but most run at night to not conflict with the TRE trains.
Filmed on our Texas Trip: June 18-20, 2019. More Texas videos to come!

You have to admit, TRE has some incredible K5LAs, quite better than many horns nowadays.
That's one thing I hate about BNSF crossings, those E-bells not shutting off 🤗
Yeah, it can get annoying!
What? That's a cool thing! I love that, especially so you can hear the bells even when one doesn't film the gates lowering.
Great video! My son and I ride the TRE every Friday for fun since we both love trains!
Another interesting note is that this line is the former Rock Island from Ft. Worth to Dallas. First train out is just after 4am and they run until midnight, after midnight BNSF runs a freight across the line, during the weekends a local and a through freight will make it's way across the line
Nice catches! I like the Lone Star Flag paint scheme, the Genesee & Wyoming paint scheme, the old wooden trestle, and the water tower in the background as well! Really nice!
I think the TRE paint scheme is really nice and fitting. I wish others like Metrolink or Tri-Rail would at least TRY to make theirs better, lol!
@@CentralPennRailProductions Me too!
Excellent Great catch and video!
Even the trains in Texas are America AF
Well welcome to Texas I'm glad you were able to catch the Trinity Railway Express trains
Thanks! I am truly impressed with their service offerings.
@@CentralPennRailProductions You're welcome and thank you I do honestly miss them using the RDC Budd rail diesel cars Which they originally used the station platform still have the heightened pedestrian handicap ramps once used by the RDC cars now there is only one and it resides at the TRE shop Facility The rest of the fleet was sold to Vermont I honestly think that single RDC belongs in a railroad museum rather than a Railroad Facility I wish the Museum of the American Railroad (based on Frisco, TX) would acquire that car
TRE looks nice 👍🏿🤩
My favorite place to get the TRE is at the west fork. There is this big concrete thing that I love to sit and get awesome pictures.
I live in Irving and i saw a BNSF at evening its in my older videos list.
Nice video i live in the fort worth area and i film TRE alot
Cool! Thanks for watching! I definitely enjoyed the Fort Worth area and would consider going back again soon!
Wish I had known you were in Texas! I’m a Pennsylvanian living in Houston we have UP, BNSF, KCS, KCSM and Ferromex all the time down here!
I was just around the Fort Worth area but might have to go to Houston sometime as we passed up on seeing KCS to chase FWWR three days instead of two.
Central Penn Rail Productions let me know I’ll show you the hot spots
richie5335 I’m a Pennsylvanian living in Dallas. I live about a mile from the Kansas City Southern main line that runs between Metro Junction and Shreveport and about another 10 minutes from milepost 694 on the BNSF Madill Sub in Carrollton. On a good day, I’m also about 20 minutes or so from the TRE and a good 30-45 minutes from the UP Dallas Sub
Central Penn Rail Productions even here in DFW, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to see KCS as long as you’re east of Wylie. Traffic west of Wylie has really declined ever since the KCS IMTDA/IDAMT trains were abolished in 2017, but there’s still a few sand trains as well as the LWY101 between Alliance and Wylie. But most of the KCS traffic in the DFW area runs to the east of Wylie nowadays.
Ferroemex is from Mexico
Isn't EVERY SINGLE PIECE of rolling stock on TRE acquired Used?
Yes. All the Bilevels and Locomotives except for the RDC’s are ex GO. RDC’s are EX Via
The F59PHs and Coaches with riveted bodies and 5 lower windows were bought from GO Transit. The F59PHIs and Coaches with welded bodies and 4 lower windows were bought new.
If u have Trainz Driver 2 for ios I have uploaded a TRE map featuring all stations including the future Trinity Lakes Station. Session name : Dallas/Fort Worth TRE or type Dallas
This is really good footage! Needs more views
The Belt Line bridge was needed since Belt Line and Story are major north-south thoroughfares in Irving. Otherwise the crossings would be closed a lot, making traffic a nightmare.
I rode the TRE for the first time last weekend and I had a great time. I actually have a model of the TRE passenger train in HO scale that I purchased back in November.
Did you happen to see Amtrak’s Texas Eagle which travels on the same tracks as the TRE between Dallas and Fort Worth?
Next time you come down you should do a piece on the Denton County Transportation Authority A-Train. It also runs on an old UP line.
Nice to see you in my neck of the woods. You should have checked out the Fort Worth & Western
TRE 124 was recently rebuilt at CADRAIL in Montreal, QC, you can see videos of it in a CP train delivering it brand new in suburban Montreal, on my channel, Cool Trains in Montreal
That would explain the Canadian-style e-bell
Looks stunning
I got to ride one of the ex TRE RDCs today
0:53 What did you use to create that track chart?
If i’m not mistaken, at least some of their fleet is ex GO? They sound a tad familiar.
that's correct!
All the stock (Disincluding the RDCs) were ex GO. The RDCs were ex VIA.
Not entirely.
Only the F59PHs, Cab Cars 1000 and 1001 (now decommissioned and are Coaches 1048 and 1049), and the Coaches numbered 1050 through 1059 are Ex-GO.
Cabs 1002 through 1009, Coaches 1060 through 1064, and the F59PHIs were all bought new.
Superbaddy4 Interesting to know. Thanks for the info!
They're coaches are the same ones as metrolinks Bombardiers
I love trinity railway express
Beautiful train
Thanks!
Your welcome
Is in texas???
Yes, in between Dallas and Fort Worth, TX. It operates every day except Sunday.
Great video, only thing I found wrong about your subtitles providing information was the train symbol on the job on the DGNO. That is actually the W717 job in the day time hours and later on the D701 job during the evening-night time.
Oh that's good to know! Thank you! I tried researching the symbol but there wasn't a lot of info and I could only find D701. As someone who likes to have a train symbol for everything I shoot, I appreciate this!
@@CentralPennRailProductions Direct Message me anytime for anything DGNO I'm happy to share.
Awesome Video 🇮🇳
Sweet! Was this your first time to Texas?
For trains, yes, but I visited Dallas and Fort Worth back 2006.
@@CentralPennRailProductions Oh Nice!
Very Nice Footage. As someone who lives in DFW I am very familiar with TRE trackage. I must say you even have impressed me as I gained Knowledge I never would have not gained watching it. Thank you for making such a wonderful video!
Nice Catch
The US infrastructure is highly deprived. We who travel a lot in different countries can see a significant difference - and not only the rail network, but also road networks, bridges, subways, trams, buses etc ... Why are trains still run on diesel in the US? Europe ended up with it last century! Visit any European country or China/Japan to discover the difference.
Hello from Pennsylvania. I’m not sure of the purpose or intent of your remark. The railroads in North America did not electrify because coal was plentiful and dirt cheap here. Later when the first big Texas oil find occurred, petroleum power was again very cheap. There was no need to take on the massive initial construction costs of electrification nor its sky-high ongoing maintenance costs. It’s simple economics. (I take it that economics is not your strong suit.).
Also consider that the railroads of North America are privately owned, profit making enterprises. They can’t afford to build and operate any rail infrastructure which is not absolutely necessary to their efficient train operations. Overseas, the taxpayers are perpetually burdened by massive employment-boosting schemes which are not needed from an economic viewpoint. This is why the American economy grows on average at twice the rate of Europe or Japan.
Thank you for the opportunity of explaining the difference between a free economy and one burdened by the leftist, Neo-Leninists in Brussels. CAS
@@charlesshivoder2887 ... Well, the US is the world's richest country but can't afford efficient infrastructure. Telephone poles everywhere (even in large cities) that do not exist in other countries (all electricity is buried in the ground except for trains and trams). In Europe we use 4G / 5G and US has 3G and at best 4G.
Most US citizen think they are voting for "their candidate" but in fact "Deep State" rules - it doesn't matter if the elected is Republican or Democrat. They have the same foreign and domestic policy (everything works bad)!
US domestic policy leads to homelessness, tent cities everywhere - drug abuse - mental illness - shooting - constant fear and suicide! Most citizen are constantly terrified so they are armed to the teeth with handguns. No one can prevent future mass shootings that happen almost every day somewhere in the US.
But US have shiny aircraft carriers and fancy homes for the rich! "This is the land of freedom"!
US foreign policy:

One ring to control them all - says Lord of the rings, Netanyahu !!!
Nice video!!!
Yes
I miss the Budd RDC's they used to run.
I saw that they did have at least one still around. Im not to sure on why its still there but I hope it will still be used on their railroad.
Who the fock is there only 3 passenger cars?
They don't have that much ridership or travel distance, at least not as much as GO Transit does.
i love
Awesome bridge for filming.
Awesome video keep it up
Thanks!
Really nice set of Videos !!!
Thanks!
Another beauty,Cheers!
H-TULTEA..... that a Tulsa train?
Yes, Tulsa - Teague
Central Penn Rail Productions ha! Comes out of my hometown lol
NS ATL South District Productions Once you get to Irving on the TRE, there’s a wye in which the BNSF traffic heads north towards and south from the Red River as the Madill Subdivision. I live about 5-10 minutes from milepost 694 on the Madill Sub in Carrollton and I used to see the HTULTEA roll past my high school all the time since my school was right next to the tracks
I dont think they are getting rid of the bridge over the trinity river as I live next to the railroad, they are currently installing the new bridge and adding a switch in at Judkins with new signals on the main and siding track.
The website says it will be rehabilitated as it is historic, but it doesn't say for what purpose. I would assume a trail or path for public use the link the paths on each side of the river, but I don't know.
@@CentralPennRailProductions I did get a letter last year noting the ROW would be closer but with the signals already up I doubt they would shift the main ROW. I will keep you updated if you would like
Mr. CPRP in Texas, long way from home!
Yup! The goal is to take more trips out of state when I am able to get off of work, and film less locally. With all the changes the railroad made in the last year around here, there's just not much worth going out for anymore.
I wish they’d switch to the MP36s and retire the F40PHs and PHIs
I live in this part of Irving, i see and film these all the time
Getting tired of them honestly
Got really happy to visit my home town to the north east and see a NS at the KCS Yard
