Ex-Santa Fe Red & Silver Warbonnets assembles three-unit consist, FRA DOTX 219 Geometry Car.

While waiting for a Red & Silver Ex-Santa Fe Warbonnet to be removed from the point of a Geo Train, we watch an assortment of yard activities. Track side in Amarillo is deep with standing water due to seven inch of rain in the past two weeks.

Soon, ex-Santa Fe C44-9W #717 is removed from GEO Train and comes into our view in Amarillo's South Yard. We follow 717 to North Yard where it is placed on a siding.

Sitting on a siding in North Yard is a short train with two BNSF Diesel locomotives, followed by two FRA Geometry Cars., units DOTX 123 and DOTX 219. These cars are very rarely seen in Amarillo even though they travel 30,000 miles per year on the nation's railroads.

We meet up with 717 again, and yet another Red & Silver Warbonnet BNSF 676 is coupled to BNSF 1016. These two units move towards 717 and couple into a three-units-consist.

Don't miss the exciting and rare railroading action of the Warbonnets and FRA cars in downtown Amarillo.
