Western Railroad Discussion > The Scenic Side of OklahomaDate: 10/05/15 16:46 The Scenic Side of Oklahoma Author: BNSF-6432 As mentioned below, many of us Okie railfans met up with SP8595 and his dad down on the Heavener Sub Saturday, working our way south. KCS helped out by running a good amount of trains, many of which didn't lack variety. Here's some of my results.
1) A northbound GEMX train with BNSF power approaches the UP (MoP) interlocker in Sallisaw, OK after dumping their coal at Bonanza 2) A southbound oil train we chased through much of the day passes the Heavener Yard office at the south end of the yard in Heavener, OK 3) The gang gets the last minute shot of a southbound H train over the navigation bridge in Redland, OK Date: 10/05/15 16:48 Re: The Scenic Side of Oklahoma Author: BNSF-6432 4) Video of the oil train chase as it works up the grade at Page, OK and then Rich Mountain at the Arkansas border while a northbound pulls into the siding
5) A clip from earlier in the day as we shot the oil train over the river bridge in Redland, OK PQM Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/05/15 17:19 by BNSF-6432. You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos. Join Today! Date: 10/05/15 17:12 Re: The Scenic Side of Oklahoma Author: P Nice video!

Great passenger shots and blonds too! Date: 10/06/15 00:14 Re: The Scenic Side of Oklahoma Author: nsmith8853 Should be an OKCBR. Heading for Baton Rouge

Loved the area for action and rather rugged country. Rich Mountain at the top of the list!
