Trains at Tower 55 in the Mid 1990s (UP/BN/Amtrak)

Tip jar: ko-fi.com/rail...
A short look at one of the busiest junctions anywhere circa 1997 before the highway ruined the view (and access) to this spot. The tower was already closed by this point. The Amtrak train seen is the Texas Eagle.

BN at 4:04 and 9:38 What a throwback! The evergreen and cream Executive paint scheme on their SD70MACs. Thanks for putting this up.

This makes me happy to see what tower 55 looked like! because I railfan this spot and I live in Fort Worth!!! Edit: do you have any 90s footage of trains at that diamond in Saginaw Texas just north of tower 55.

9:39 Every time I see that engine with that road number reminds me of the old F7 9710 aka Bachmann's F9 9710.

Interesting how the sightseer lounge has windows on one side on the lower level, all the ones I've ridden in had windows on both in sides

[@brentmiller3951]

The ones I was on going up the west coast had them on both sides also.
