Tower 55 (Fort Worth)
Tower 55 is the busiest railroad diamond interlocking in the United States outside of Chicago, where BNSF's triple-track north–south main meets Union Pacific's double-track east–west corridor at six grade-level diamond crossings. With roughly 100 trains per day from UP, BNSF, FWWR, Trinity Rail Express, and Amtrak, this Fort Worth junction delivers near-constant rail action from public sidewalks steps away from the interlocking.
Saginaw (UP/BNSF)
Saginaw sits at the junction of three railroad lines—two BNSF subdivisions and one Union Pacific—making it one of North Texas's premier railfan destinations with roughly 40–60 trains daily and a historic depot serving as the viewing base.
Dallas Union Station
Historic 1916 Beaux-Arts station where DART light rail, TRE commuter trains, Amtrak's Texas Eagle, and UP/BNSF freight share tracks in downtown Dallas.
