A Trinity Railway Express commuter train heads west towards Fort Worth, TX on the former Rock Island main in May 2006. The skyline of Fort Worth looms in the distance. The short train consists of three Bombardier bilevel coaches and is powered by F59PH No. 566. The TRE began service in December 1996 between Dallas and Irving, TX; in December 2001 the service was extended to Fort Worth.
