Today I did the Temple to Fort Worth and back trip. Normally not possible because the connection in Fort Worth is way to tight (only 10 minutes) but since due to UP track work the TE from San Antonio is being turned around in Fort Worth I took the opportunity.
I had a good ride up to Fort Worth, the train arrived 5 minutes early. The train stopped way at the far end of the platform in the service area. There the busses were waiting to take the passengers traveling on.
The train was serviced and the seats were turned around. When it was ready the train pulled up to the regular part of the platform and people started boarding. While that was happening the locomotives were detached and put on the new front of the train. Everything seemed to go pretty smoothly.
Of course I made a video and used my new GPS for fun.
