Beautiful ... (IMO) those SD70M's look real nice pulling passenger cars.

Yes this was the station the Texas Eagle used before Amtrak. However, the new station is around the corner on the north leg of the interchange. This station is now used for communter traffic and is the terminus for the TRE (Trinity Railway Express). Developers are planning a hotel or condo for the T&P station if they can ever get the funding to come through. The T&P station was a major hub during the war with several floors used as the headquarters for the Army Air Corp training command. It's been sitting vacant since the demise of the passenger train system and has most of the original ammenities still in place.
