Trinity Railway Express - Downtown Dallas, Texas

The Trinity Railway Express (TRE) is a commuter rail service in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Texas. It was established by an inter-local agreement between Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and Trinity Metro and began operating in December 1996. Each transit authority owns a 50% stake in the joint rail project and contractor Herzog Transit Services operates the line. The eastern terminus of the TRE route is Dallas Union Station on the west side of Downtown Dallas and the western terminus is at T&P Station in Downtown Fort Worth. According to current TRE schedules, a one-way trip in either direction takes approximately 1 hour and 2 minutes.

This particular train configuration includes an EMD-F59PH four-axle 3,000 hp diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division from 1988 to 1994. This locomotive is pulling two Bombardier BiLevel Coaches with a seating capacity of 136 to 162 each. And, my favorite part of the setup, is all three sections fully painted with the colors and design of the state flag of Texas.

Erie Lackawanna, CR, NJDOT, EL U34CH's #3352 -#3374 -#3355 westbound on the ex-Erie mainline at HoHoKus, New Jersey. August 2, 1976. Jack D Kuiphoff © photo

For a shorth time, the newly formed Conrail was short power, and borrowed NJDOT's Erie Lackawanna U34CH's on the weekends. It created a problem for NJDOT, as they were returned low on fuel, or lucky they were even back for Monday mornings commuter rush hour. So this did not last long.
