GAF's Dallas plant is located 2600 Singleton Blvd., near the intersection of Singleton and
Fishtrap Rd. From I-30, take Hampton Road north to Singleton and then go west on Singleton
to Fishtrap. The plant is near the southwest corner of the intersection. South of the plant,
GAF's trackage connects with the Union Pacific Dallas Subdivision. The lead to the plant
is visible from public property on the east side of the plant where Fishtrap reaches a dead-end
at the UP tracks. This is a good spot from which to observe switching moves.
