MKT grain train stopped at Tower 55 in Fort Worth, TX

MKT engine 317 is the last unit in a five engine consist. Earlier in the day the engines were pulling a loaded grain train up to the tower and pulled a drawbar. The units have moved the wounded car off to a side track and are waiting for a signal to return to their train north of the tower.

About a half hour later the grain train is moving again, although at a snail's pace. This gave me the opportunity to snap several shots as the train came by the north end of SP's Broadway Yard. The special covers on the signal prevent a Santa Fe crew from seeing this signal.
