Anyone hear of the FW&DC Ry (circa 1936-1945)?

[Karland A Kilian]

Hello all,

I stumbled upon these reporting marks recently: F.W.&D.C. Does anyone know
what railroad that belongs to? They are very close to Fort Worth and Denver
(FW&D) but might not be the same. This is from the time period 1936-1945.
Thanks for any help!

Sincerely,

Karland K.

FW&DC iis Fort Worth & Denver City. The railroad later became the FW&D,
dropping "City" from name. Owned by CB&Q, now BNSF.

For that matter, which rail line is LW. I was interviewing for a job
yesterday at the nearby steel mill and noticed some coil cars with these
marks on them. I saw some others labeled LWRN (I think) also.
It might be an an interesting place to watch industrial action. Some
PR material they gave me says they have 22 miles of track on 450 acres,
7 locos and 140 flat cars and gondolas. I was applying for a maintenance
technician's job.
