Western Railroad Discussion > Freight Traffic Working Around the Special Movement

Yesterday oklachaser and SCKP187 posted some very nice shots of the northbound high/wide special through the UP in Oklahoma. The freight action was also keeping us entertained. So here's some action from Wagoner, OK and south

1) A southbound takes the connection in Wagoner from the MKT to the MOP

2) Southbound San Antonio coal train hits the diamond in Wagoner going straight across on the MKT

3) Clean wings on 8021 south pass Ronda and Brian (oklachaser&SCKP187) at Whitman siding

4&5) The northbound special meets a southbound with a pair of KCS units leading as the exit the south switch of Whitman

6) Sorry for the in&out focus, but the light I was given wasn't much helpful, but here's a roll-by of the high-wide passing a lake resort at the south end of the town of Eufaula
