Tower 115 in Eagle Lake, Texas. It controlled the crossing of the Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio (SP), the San Antonio & Aransas Pass (SP), and the Cane Belt railroads (ATSF). It was demolished in November of 1996. I took this photo about 4 years before that.
MKT ticket office in Ft. Worth, TX, 1950. MKT and Frisco logos are on the glass by the door and the glass in window reads Missouri-Kansas-Texas Lines and St. Louis, San Francisco and Texas Railway. A window sign invites a ride aboard the Black Gold to Tulsa. To the right is the Texas & Pacific ticket office.
This was one of the first units painted into the Yellowbonnet paint scheme. This happened in the shops at Argentine Yard outside Kansas City. The paint date on the nose is 9 1972.
What I like about Train Ticket Row is all the nice, classy commercial signage. with lots of neon too. And another detail - the Pirate's Cave Dine & Dance, shoehorned between the Katy and T&P ticket offices. T'would be a nice place to stuff one's face, aarrrr...
SOO 4448 works a cut of cars at CP’s Nahant Yard. Davenport, IA-May 5, 2021 Most people get drunk, others want sex but as for me, I go Railfanning.
