History
At the end of 1990, all Class I carriers in Dallas, TX sold necessary trackage to Dallas Area Rapid Transit Property Acquisition Corporation (DARTPAC). DARTPAC appointed the DGNO as the operator of the rail lines. DGNO is leasing from UP the line between Greenville and Garland and has purchased the former MKT line (abandoned in 1987) from Greenville to Trenton. DGNO began operating the group of lines through Plano and Carrollton in January 1999. UP leased the Center Pt. to Mockingbird Yard in June 2004.
