Anyone know why a BNSF ethanol train went down the UP Enid sub this morning? I was trackside in OKC and, other than the local, there was a noticeable lack of activity on the BNSF Red Rock sub, though

FWIW, the OKC show got $10 a head this year and it didn't seem to hurt their attendance too much. That got you in both days and you didn't have to pay for parking. It also appeared their dealer table

Nice article about what the author describes as the Rock Island Plow Building near downtown OKC... http://blog.newsok.com/okccentral/2012/09/28/pulling-off-the-boards-at-the-rock-island-plow-building/

Heads up points north of OKC on the BNSF Red Rock sub. At 12:40, what appeared to be a high/wide special with what appeared to be a transformer load of some sort was pointing north at Nowers Yard. Thi

And they're playing at the old Downtown Airpark in Oklahoma City on October 23rd with a show in Houston on the 24th? That's gonna be one fast moving train! http://railroadrevival.com/ WSW ~!~!~!~!~!~!

Took my evening bike ride in spite of the 3-digit temperatures and was rewarded with unpatched Southern Pacific 9794 pulling a short local eastbound through the OKC Fairgrounds. As this job usually ge

Hard to believe it snuck by everyone but, considering all the negative news the program got in the wake of the Mt Pleasant and Georgetown events, you can't blame UP for trying to limit their exposure

If it has, it wasn't sending out any GPS or Twitter pings indicating it's movement. For reference, it will normally do so, even when they're just moving it around the yard in Cheyenne... WSW

Just hope they'll be ready to make El Reno in about 2 1/2 weeks but, from what I'm reading tonight, that's not looking too certain... WSW ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~! Oklahoma - Our tornadoes go

Caught a southbound grain train through Okarche, OK at 7:40 this morning with only two SP GEs for power. They were, of course, patched but still a rare sight in this day and age... WSW ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

Just saw on Trainorders that a CF7 (lettered for the LAJ 2571) left Barstow, CA this morning headed for the Oklahoma Railway Museum. Anybody have any further info? WSW ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
