Has good view of BNSF, UP, TRE, and DART operations over Dallas Union Station trackage. Hotel is one block from Dallas Union Station. Recently renovated, fairly reasonable. Ask for a room on the south or west sides.

Update to a current location with a photo, this was taken from room 1192, double queen Non-smoking. There is also a skyline deck off of the 3rd. floor that has good views as well.

Ask for a room with a north view and you will be treated to UP's double track mainline, Trinity Railway Express (the DFW commuter system) and the Dallas light rail, all running parallel tracks outside the Dallas Union Station. Biggest treat: A 3-unit lash-up of RDC's Trinity runs at peak periods.
Even if you don't stay at the Hyatt, the observation deck in the Reunion Tower next door provides great views of the railway system.

The tracks (UP / BNSF / Amtrak / TRE / DART) run right between the hotel and Dallas Union Station.
