    Could this be Oklahoma City?

    Oil derricks sure seem to point to that.

    I feel like I recall that the motorcars frequented Hugo quite a bit, but I’d have to look up their routes.

    If not OKC, maybe Tulsa?

    Best Regards,

    Yes, Bullmoose SLSF 2125 and its lone coach are crossing one of the Oklahoma Railway’s freight-only routes.

    The Oklahoma Railway was a street and interurban, electric railroad that served the OKC area. The gate-protected crossing was located at MP G-540.1.

    After being serviced over night at OKC’s East Yard, the consist is headed to the depot, where it will assume the schedule of No 409. The 409 departed OKC after lunch, and provided daily service to Quanah, TX, where it arrived about 7 PM.

    The street in the foreground is South Santa Fe Street.

    Don’s new book has a photo of the SLSF 1522, 4-8-2 Mountain, at this location.

    Karl, I thought of that picture of the GP35 when I saw the building in the background, but the name on the sign had me confused.
