BNSF7217-Tiger
Funeral train...
On Monday morning, I was driving to Tulsa from home as I usually do. I knew about this train and that it would come through Tulsa at some point in the morning, but didn't know when.
I was fortunate and received some intel from a reliable source saying the train was just west of Tulsa. At this point, it was still dark, but I went ahead and drove towards Cherokee Yard so that I could follow it.
The D-GATSTL (Light power- Galveston, TX to St Louis, MO) rounded the wye just before sunrise and then pulled into East Tulsa for a crew change. I made my way over to Tiger to setup for a shot as I knew the sun would be good at this spot.
After patiently waiting for close to an hour, the train finally showed up at Tiger. 5 Gensets and 8 Dash 8s, all standard cab except for the Warbonnet on the end. All going for scrap.
I will post roster shots of each locomotive later.
