Album Info:On February 17, I went to see the Railroad Museum of Oklahoma located in Enid, NNW of Oklahoma City. It was awesome! Located in the old Santa Fe freight depot, they have a ton of railroad memorabilia and several huge model layouts on display inside, including an extensive Lionel set. Watermelon Campbell, the guy who gave the tour, didn't look a day over 70--but boy, was I impressed when I found out he was actually 96 years old! Mind sharp as ever, doesn't use a cane or a walker. Outside, though, were the real treats. Frisco 1519 is the highlight of the collection, but there's also a tonner diesel (which they plan to eventually use for excursions) and more cabooses than you can count! See http://railfan3145.rrpicturearchives.net/archivethumbs.aspx?id=127145 for the steam engine, stations, and other rolling stock, and this album contains all the cabooses. Enjoy!

MP 13724
Title:  MP 13724
Description:  With their oversized balconies and bay windows, Missouri Pacific cabooses have the most unique construction of those I have seen from major railways. One of these can still be seen roaming around Tulsa, as it helps switch cars. Watch out for it next time you're there!
