It appears to me that the train in question can be seen on the triple underpass in the Volkland photo taken from Stemmons Freeway immediately after the assassination. I put a red arrow and wrote the red words on this copy of the photo.



I have done some quick line of sight alignments with some of the buildings and approximated Volkland’s position. It appears to me that the train cars designated by the arrow are on the triple underpass. Please feel free to double check my alignments for yourselves. Please let me know if you disagree or agree with my assessment. Thanks!

Hi Charles. It appears to me that those train cars are the same as those photographed in a Jerry Cabluck aerial taken in the afternoon (Trask-Pictures of the Pain p350). The Triple Under Pass is viewable at the right of frame, but to me does not suggest the presence of a train. Sorry about that. If you have any questions about the graphic please ask.

Thanks James, excellent work as usual. I agree with your assessment. I have been spending some time examining many of the photos & films taken in Dealey Plaza during the time in question (the “Motorcade ‘63” animation is a great aid in determining the timing of the images). I have not found a train on the TUP in any of them. J.C. White’s testimony regarding the train is still a question mark. However, I am beginning to think that perhaps his memory could have been faulty regarding a train during the time in question. Thanks again!
