"Get the Shot" - Amtrak 156 on Santa Fe Bridge

Better the Second Time Around.....

Today there was not a cloud in the sky so I decided to get the shot that I did not get last Wednesday.  I took my son Jacob with me and off to the bridge just south of Highway 114 we went.  Right on time the Heartland Flyer zipped across, Heritage Unit AMTK 156 bringing up the rear as expected!  The building visible under the bridge is part of the new GE Texas Locomotive Factory.

In several months, this bridge will not be seeing any rail traffic once the new main aligned several miles to the west is cut in.  The rails on this main will be severed allowing for expansion of the Alliance Airport runway.
