A train of unprocessed sand with 2x1 BNSF power works its way over the Fort Worth & Western Railroad from the Trinity River West Fork, towards the Clear Fork where it will begin the 2% grade to Cresson. The train originated on the Minnesota Commercial Railway in St. Paul, Minnesota and is destined for Fort Worth & Western customer EOG Resources in Cleburne, TX. The train is routed over the FWWR from Fort Worth rather than the BNSF to Cleburne to avoid Tower 55 and insure a timely delivery. This is a joint effort between the MNNR, BNSF and FWWR. This is the first and only DPU operation over the FWWR.
