Dallas Area Rapid Transit: (Red River Showdown) Riding the Red Line from Parker Road to Fair Park

[Taken October 7, 2023] Like last year, I rode one of DART's special event trains for the Red River Showdown. Instead of doing the circulator this year, however, DART decided to run Red and Blue Line trains to Fair Park.

In the 16 years I've witnessed DART trains use the current track orientation between Cityplace and Pearl Stations, where there's been a connector from the tunnel stretch to the eastern stretch of the Green Line, I'm so glad to finally hear these words:
"Cityplace/Uptown Station...next stop: Deep Ellum Station."

This train honked at me! AC and Neon are the best operators lol

[@DeepChillWolf]

Was this AC's train?

I was at southeast junction on that day and I never found one of those red/blue line trains to fair park

[@DFWRailVideos]

They were only happening in the morning. I caught four.

The whistle sounds like it's dying for some reason, or it's probably just me, if it's dying I hope they don’t replace it with the new electric horn on 188. If it isn't dying then it's just out of tune. (Pretty obvious.) - DallasFWRailfanner = The person you saw in RSU.

It probably just needs more air.
