TRE 3922 Cabride from Fort Worth to Dallas

On my way back to Dallas from Fort Worth, I decided to film a video out the front window on the Trinity Railway Express also known as the “Railfan Window.” Thanks for Watching!
Cab Car was 1004 and Locomotive was 120.

Nice shot on that trespasser x2 bet he got a scare from that horn

[@derekogilvie1257]

My god that train is so fast,I nearly fell asleep.

[@jermainem3399]

Ha I see you miss two horn blast at two crossings any way nice ride patriot God Bless you and thank you for the experience....

[@Thunder_Dome45]

I used to sit there too. Fun times. I just rode for the fun if I had time. Once there were kids playing on a bridge and we started to stop pretty hard but they got out the way, so we get moving again.

[@meredithboatwright6126]

The Richland Hills, TX Station Stop is the one most frequently used by me when I used to live in Arlington, Texas! I used to work for a Godiva Chocolate boutique at Northeast Mall, so taking the TRE was beneficial to me! The Main Station between the DFW area was near the DFW airport!

[@sumanmukhopadhyay1566]

Eagerly waiting for your video.... very nice

[@brihntrainvideos289]

Awesome vid!

[@meredithboatwright6126]

The DALLAS UNION STATION is also home to an AMTRAK railway service, too! There's also a Dallas Area Rapid Transit line(s).

[@TrinityRailProductions]

Great video!

[@Surfliner6905]

Thanks!

Trinity Rail Productions Hi

[@gordonleslie3581]

Can see why there are so many cars on the road..this train is painfully slllooowww!..

[@ianallen2274]

Just saw the TRE today. What a beautiful horn the engines and cab cars have!

[@Chicagojoe28]

Cool video

[@Surfliner6905]

Thanks!

[@meredithboatwright6126]

When you drive to the Center Point, DFW AIRPORT Trinity Railway Express Station, remember to park your car closer to the station, especially if you're walking! Some have shuttles to and from the Trinity Railway Express platforms, like the TRE STATION in Richland Hills! It drops you off at the Northeast Mall parking lot across from Sears. I'd go down the hill to the Mall Employees entrance. Went through it and back to wait for the shuttle ride back to the Richland Hills TX TRE STATION to take me back to the TRE STATION at the Center Point, DFW AIRPORT Trinity Railway Express Station. I'd walk or ride a TRE STATION shuttle back to the Park and Ride area, get in my car and drive myself back home! Long day, but so very much worth it! If you had to do that, please let me know!

[@meredithboatwright6126]

There's an AMTRAK Station here, too!

[@meredithboatwright6126]

Center Point, DFW AIRPORT, is where I would take the Trinity Railway Express to the TRE station in Richland Hills. I would then return to the Center Point, DFW AIRPORT Trinity Railway Express Station to drive myself back home to Southwest Arlington, Texas! I'd go up Highway 360 to catch the TRE to work. I return to the TRE station to go back home later that same day. Timing the traffic could be tricky at times! The gray ones don't have a bathroom on them, but the double decker ones do, including a bicycle storage area next to the entrance/ exit !

[@meredithboatwright6126]

The TRE ALSO shows Interstate 30 which takes you through to Dallas.! It goes to Ft. Worth, which is going Westbound! Look for Six Flags Over Texas! You can't miss it!

[@ntytp]

back when texrail, covid, and drama didnt really exist. kinda miss those days but you gotta move on

[@North_Texas_Railfan]

Nice

[@Surfliner6905]

Thanks!

[@meredithboatwright6126]

Dallas Union Station is very nice!

[@Amtrak90222]

1:58 = 90222 = amazing

[@Surfliner6905]

lol

[@MiddleTennesseeRailProductions]

It was more amazing when it stlll had Phase III paint along with #90219 and #90222... just wish a miracle would happen and I could somehow locate the old DVD from my old Sony to get the one video I have of #90229 up from when it was in Carbondale, IL in 2010 departing on the 390... I think it was the morning of September 11, 2010 when I caught 'er... man, that P5 was nice....

[@richardgerlach5156]

Got better once you took the zoom off. Lots of shimmy in that wheel bearing! Better send it to the shop for repair!

[@jonadkins8007]

Wow! This line needs some serious upgrading. New rails, new trucks, new wheels, new bearings, before it has a derailment.

[@Surfliner6905]

I agree.

[@cfm529]

Yes. This train needs more of every thing!

[@curtisbernard4458]

It's so sad that my granny in her wheelchair can best this train lol . But it was nice area it creeps through lol . That's our great USA travel lol . One day we will be able to hold on to our hats and hair rail traveling . Keep up the good work 😀

[@johnwireman2660]

Look up North Texas Rail and Elevator’s video of this line for a TRE ride that looks faster.

[@101southsideboy]

not even METRA in Chicago has so many or as tight of curves in the beginning of this video

[@davidjames8613]

I never been on a Cab Car before

[@meredithboatwright6126]

I wished for more commentary from commuters( wish I could have, but I didn't know how that could have been possible. If I had a cell phone, I probably could have figured out how to video, but I don't remember having a cell phone...hmmm! LOL 😆!).

[@kevinhoward9593]

those cars sound like they are going to fly themselves apart.

[@meredithboatwright6126]

The DALLAS AREA RAPID TRANSIT are the Yellow and White trains.

[@alanmusicman3385]

Love the video - very interesting. Can anyone explain the signal aspects to me? The progress is painfully slow isn't it? No wonder people seek alternatives. But, the time is coming when America will have to put serious government investment into high-speed rail and when that happens you'll see some great stuff happening on routes like this.

[@torryjobe6244]

As someone who travels from Fort Worth to Dallas at least five times a week, it really isn't much slower than driving (at least during the day). The only reason I don't take the train daily is because I don't work in downtown Dallas.

[@alanmusicman3385]

@@torryjobe6244 That is always the issue with trains or planes. They are not door to door - so it depends on the length of the actual journey whether the extra bit at each end makes it unattractive as compared to using a car. For longer journeys it's no contest, but as you suggest, Fort Worth to Dallas at just over 30 urban miles is on the cusp..... :-)

[@blackbirdgaming8147]

Signal aspects are as follows: Green=Clear, proceed at the maximum authorized speed for your train Flashing yellow= Approach medium, reduce to medium speed (40 mph for passenger trains, 25 for freight) and next signal will be an approach signal Yellow=Approach, be prepared to stop at next signal Red=Either stop or placeholder, it depends on the signal aspect. Flashing red=Restricting, proceed at restricted speed (no faster than 15 mph, and be prepared to stop within half the range of your vision). Yellow over yellow: Also approach medium, but it in addition means prepare to enter diverging route. Red over yellow: Diverging approach, proceed through turnout at prescribed speed, then proceed prepared to stop at next signal Red over green: Diverging clear, proceed at prescribed speed through turnout, then proceed at maximum authorized speed for your train. Red over flashing red: Restricting but for the diverging route Source: TRE Timetable

Trinity Railway Express

[@rgsnidow1]

Sounds to me like some axles could stand some bearings or something has to ride like crap

[@johnellis6591]

Ya need a camera mount (window suction cup) & a wider angle lens.

[@Surfliner6905]

Ok, I'll try that next time.

[@larryfuchs3454]

That zoom is driving me crazy. Otherwise, great vidieo

[@ssweeps]

30 miles...

[@meredithboatwright6126]

After Bell Station, The Trinity Railway Express crosses a bridge over Highway 360. I love hearing the horn when it comes into the Center Point/ DFW AIRPORT Station!

[@Peyethon]

Did you start at T&P station?

[@cfm529]

He did.

[@WanJae42]

Whenever the train gets close to a station, there's something that sounds like a car's turn signal. What is that? Great video!

[@Surfliner6905]

If your taking about the DING DING DING, that is the bell.

[@WanJae42]

OK! It's very muted, but it makes the most sense. :-D Thanks!

[@tacitdionysus3220]

Yeah, sounds weird, but makes sense of some of the movies I've seen with American trains. Always thought it was a 1940s thing. We don't have them in Oz, except on the Indian Pacific and the Ghan lines when they're operating at stations that don't have the raised (train floor level) platforms that are used everywhere else.

[@TheEmilychurchill]

Amtrak does it look like it's cement pillars looks like old wood and the speed limit must not be too fast because the train looks like it's going about 30 miles per hour anyone know what the speed limit is through this portion

[@johnwireman2660]

Too bad nobody answered sooner. The top speed on this line is 79 mph. Due to the zoom it looks like 30 but it sounds like a solid 60-70 for the most part.

[@johnlaflin1536]

[@The_SEWI_Railfanner]

You really Drive Trains seriously?

[@rodhard688]

Slow start because the line needs upgrades. But once you got to the good track it got pretty good. Notice the engineer missed a couple of "W" signs at crossings. And then there are the aholes who walk on the tracks and endanger themselves, and the train crew and passengers.

[@Surfliner6905]

The "W" signs he missed were Quiet Zone Crossings, and yeah there were a lot of trespassers.

[@rickboivin7732]

Definitely not class four track...

[@thenoblegerman2637]

Rick Boivin it’s old track

[@trainboi6736]

There were ignorant fools on the tracks

[@ceciltagg]

This railway track is as rough as a shit house duck dut twice as bad the train is ok but the track needs work damping and ballast levelling

[@HugoTeerds]

Well, Texas is not what you would call a lucious green environment, is it? What a terrible barren and desolate place!

[@williamyork2408]

It is according to what month you are traveling, Idiot.

[@nicolasgoldring7128]

This was filmed during the winter. During the spring and summer, it becomes a green environment.

[@jimbrown7196]

They should cut out the incessant horn blowing. Things would be quieter and it might help to clean out the gene pool.

[@totalslakr]

I was actually yelling at the video because of how incredibly bad the track is. It's crazy; the top speed on this track is literally the same as a 50‰-grade European line in rockslide and avalanche-prone areas of Europe--and it's board-flat Texas. This is what happens when nobody in Texas wants to pay taxes to support infrastructure: everything just slowly rots away.

[@derekogilvie1257]

Not much change in the way of speed from the 1880s to the 2020s

I'll tell you what I look for in a video that says, "Cab Ride..." in the title. I like to see the inside of the cab, the driver pushing buttons and moving levers. And I like to see an occasional pan around the cab...sweep over to the conductor, go down and show us the toilet and the front exit door, maybe walk back into the engine room...you know, make us think we are really in a "cab." I don't want to watch an hour of scenery out the front windows...BORING! (And, to the writer of the above description...are you aware that you started every sentence with "so?" That is a current fad, I know, and is supposed to make people seem "hip," and "with it," and, "cool." But all it does is make you look amateurish and unprofessional. No-no, don't thank me! This first writing tip is on me.)
