Taking the connection |
| Description: |
Wed gone over to Fort Gibson Dam on Sunday Apr 11, since it was such a nice day, temps in low 80s and sun. On the way back, we went over through Okay, and followed SR 16 into Wagoner. Along the way, we caught this northbound empty San Antonio coal train headed north on the ex MKT. We were able to get ahead of him and set up for this shot of the train taking the connection onto the ex MP here at Wagoner, as almost all northbounds do. |

This closer in angle shows the train stretched out through the connecting track. The train is returning empties with SATX reporting marks, from the City Public Service Board of San Antonio, in this case, 150 of them. |
