Two types of power and canteens
Title:  Two types of power and canteens
Description:  As we rolled into Claremore, the train was on display along the road south of downtown. From the car, Diane caught the diesel protect engine, the canteens, and the 4014 herself. Quite an array, and the flags really make the scene.

Crossing the BNSF
Title:  Crossing the BNSF
Description:  UP 4014 has done its display at Claremore, and is now crossing the BNSF, walking its way(at under 5 MPH) through the crowd as it hits the diamond. I was surprised not to see any BNSF people there, given the large number of people on the tracks of both roads.

Big crowd
Title:  Big crowd
Description:  As with everywhere the train stopped on this trip, the crowd at Nowata was big, as just about the whole town turned out.

Jammed
Title:  Jammed
Description:  The Wagoner stop posed some space issues, since the train was pulled up south of 5th St, a block from the diamond with the ex MKT, which we see in the foreground. It didnt leave a lot of room to park, and the streets are narrow as it is. We grabbed a shot and took off, wanting to beat him to Inola, a fairly straight shot for the train, but almost 30 miles by road.
