Fort Worth & Western
The Fort Worth & Western Railroad (FWWR) began in 1988, with the purchase of 6.25 miles of track from the former Burlington Northern Railroad. It now owns 276 miles of track. FWWR interchanges with three Class I railroads, Union Pacific, BNSF and Kansas City Southern in Fort Worth, as well as short line railroad, Texas Pacifico, at San Angelo Junction.
It is apparent that the FWWR takes pride in its locomotive fleet; each unit has an individual name, and their website lists descriptive details of each roster member. FWWR 2029 and 2030 are SD40s rebuilt to SD40-2 standards, and are named “Eastland County” and “Dallas County”, respectively.
