when i was at Tower 55 several years ago taking photo's we were stopped by UP personnel and taken to the Centennial yard office, we were asked what we were doing on private property....what any decent railfan would be doing, admiring diesel locomotives and taking pictures, they gave us passes and we went back legally :)
cool, i think they actually renamed Centennial Yard to Davidson Yard, don't ask me why, they renamed one of yards down here in houston from dayton yard to Robinson yard, as a safety award to one of the managers...=)
if you want to railfan, get a permission slip from the tower at Centennial yard and go visit the criss-cross at Tower 55-Ft Worth....I've been there several times.....NSF goes North South and UP goes East West.....there's a freight train like every 10 minutes...it absolutely rocks

Yeah, when I railfan at Tower 55 I always feel like I'm not supposed to be there...
I don't get that feeling in the parking lot of Centennial yard!

Yeah they did, I'm not sure why though.... I'll keep the name as "Centennial Sunday" though, because it sounds a lot better than "davidson Sunday"
