BNSF Fort Worth Subdivision

The north end of BNSF’s Fort Worth Subdivision between Gainesville, Texas and Alliance Yard, BNSF’s large intermodal, auto, and carload classification yard serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, is one of BNSF’s busiest lines in Texas. Part of the former Santa Fe main line between Kansas City and Houston, this track handles a lot of intermodal, grain, and mixed carload traffic between the Midwest and the great state of Texas. The UP takeover of the Southern Pacific in 1996 gave BNSF access to more chemical plants along the Gulf Coast, and much of this new traffic flows north on the Fort Worth sub. In spite of the current recession, this line is still handling near record levels of traffic, especially when export grain is moving to ports on the Gulf Coast. This program shows all the trains for over 24 hours on the north end of BNSF’s Fort Worth Subdivision including what fans call the “Metro pig dance” in May of 2009. “BNSF Fort Worth Subdivision” is 79 minutes in length.  This DVD has the option of being watched with or without narration.
