Nostalgia & History > Tulsa Sapulpa Union in '91

In August '91, a Tulsa Sapulpa Union RR switch job was working near Sapulpa, OK.

Pretty neat - I never got to shoot the 107 when it was still in DRI&NW paint with the TSU heralds on the side, although I saw it a time or two.

Just for the record, you're actually in Tulsa. The bridge "spans" Cherry Creek, and underneath the canopy of the tree off the pilot, you can make out the top windows of Crest Tower over in BNSF's Cherokee Yard.

I wasn't exactly sure where it was but there is [was?] a GREAT barbeque place down that street!

Yeah, that'd be Billy Ray's - I know you used to be able to find the TSU parked across the street on some weekdays while the crew went to lunch - I haven't been in Tulsa on a weekday in so long, I'm not sure if this is still true or not.

Good BBQ can be found along both the TSU and the Sand Springs......and I knew that long before that Trains article a few years ago!

If you are refering to Knotty Pine in Sand Springs, it burned down about 4-5 years ago. But they re-opened a store somehwere out near Broken Arrow I think on 61st.
