    At the risk of repeating a previous request which I cannot find, let me pose these questions:
    How was the southbound/westbound BLACK GOLD turned at Dallas before it continued over to Ft. Worth?
    Schedules typically show only a 5-10 minute layover time in Dallas.
    Was the locomotive uncoupled, wyed, and run around the train? That would leave the consist running
    in reverse over to Ft. Worth.
    It seems there was not enough time to wye the entire train.

    There was a similar manuver needed for the northbound/eastbound BLACK GOLD coming over to Dallas
    from Ft. Worth except 15 minutes was allotted at DUT.
