Railroaders' Nostalgia > AFT Maps Tulsa to WichitaDate: 03/30/14 16:13 AFT Maps Tulsa to Wichita Author: BoilingMan Another funny dogleg routing. MoPac sites at both ends, but the run itself was all ATSF.
The Main Consist (Cars 100-200) was backwards for the run. Diesel helper between Chanute & Winfield. Water stop at Chanute. P/U press at Winfield. 271 miles on ATSF. Both the display track and the bridge we used to cross the river to it are gone now. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/18/14 16:07 by BoilingMan.

I chased the train that day and the open platform car was on the rear across the Flint Hills from Chanute to Wichita. That much I remember. I even have a shot of the Santa Fe divsion super waving from the platform. That was a guy named Mike Haverty. Wonder whatever happened to him?

Midland Valley track in both Tulsa & Wichita. I was aware of it being MV in Tulsa, but in Wichita it was identified as MP, which of course, had swallowed up the MV. Cool. Thx!!
