Location Rating: R-C-x

TRAIN FREQUENCY: "BNSF traffic is mainly unit coal, 15-20 trains/day including empties.
UP traffic mainly intermodal, 10-15 trains/day."

OTHER COMMENTS: "This is an "L" shaped motel, with the point of the L about 25 feet from
the diamond where the BNSF (Ex-FW&DC) crosses the UP (Ex-SSW, Ex-CRI&P). There are no
windows on the RR side of the motel, but you can hear/feel the trains, and of course
a 10-second walk puts you at the tracks." Dalhart is a crew change point on SSW,
and layover crews stay at the Econo-Lodge. 24-hour restaurant (Hardees) across the
street. There is also, especially for a small town, a superb museum with a fair number
of RR exhibits.
