Posted by Dave on Wed Oct 1 13:16:27 2014 On the Fort Worth & Western, not far from my home. I was on site with permission, of course.

Can't figure out why they're putting it there. It's not long enough for a passing track given the typical train length on the sub. There is a 2 track yard about 1 mile to the north. I'm guessing an extra yard track is needed and there isn't space at the existing yard. |

I bet you didn't think to check. You're too busy thinking about eating dicks to actually stop and think of someone other than yourself. |
