UP #4014 - Tiawah, OK
North of Wagoner, the tracks don't really parallel any roads too reliably, so I jumped out ahead using US highways. Between the lack of "action" going on and the all night drive catching up to me, I was getting a little sleepy. So after the roads joined back up with the tracks, I pulled over along Highway 88, figuring that when the Steam Special got close, the rush of oncoming traffic would wake me. I got in about a 30 minute nap and sure enough I was awoken as I expected. This photo was taken approximately 45 seconds later.
