Union Pacific - Davidson Yard, the Crest — Local services in Fort Worth

Heed the warnings some reviewers have left. We are all trainchasers thanks to my son (he has sent letters to UP). We have family who have worked/still working for SP/UP. We are WELL AWARE of the dangers and stay far away. It would be nice if the yards would send alerts on special engines (heritage units) entering their yards. We chased the Katy yesterday, since it was last spotted in Bellmead I’m guessing it backed all the way out of the Davidson east and then south into the Ney Yard.

Even wedding coordinators that have missed weddings. What does it take to get them to change something? I'm guessing they wouldn't enjoy all of us showing up outside...

I wave at the train going by everyday. One day, one of the Union Pacific conductors waved back and made my entire day, especially being a fan of trains. It's a long shot, but I want to find out who the conductor was. (He works for Union Pacific) This happened about a month ago. The train goes behind a building everyday and I love watching it go by. Thank you for doing what...
