Went to west Tulsa this morning, took photos of Frisco 4-8-4 Northern 4500 and other railcars on display. Joe 11/04/2021
When I visited that place there were folks all over the place. I really needed a "people filter" for my camera.
I was the only person there on a Thursday morning about 11:00am. The other times there were several people. Thank you guys. Joe
Those are light "tubes" outlining the wheels for lighting up the train at night. The locomotive and cars used to be outlined in lights as well but they look like they have been removed. Looks nice at night but is kind of tacky and distracting during the day.
Yup, bells and whistles are sought after by thieves. There is a story I recall from somewhere where they prevented someone from trying to remove a whistle from a live, under steam, locomotive at a tourist railroad. They should have left him alone and let Darwin take care of the idiot. The whistle could then be recovered and reinstalled after they cleaned his remains off of it.
