While F7 407 occupies the storage track with the Texas Star Clipper dinner train (right) , F7 416 departs Grapevine with a Tarantula passenger train on January 9, 2000.
Although FWWRs 4-6-0 steam engine would return to service the following weekend, January 16 was the last day it ran on the Tarantula train. Coe, the operator of the passenger trains between Grapevine and Ft Worth, began running the F7 locomotives on the train daily; they remained assigned to the train until Coe was kicked off the property following their accident in March.
