Like I have said, put four passing sidings in at four stops, and run the trolley in both directions. And make the bricktown loop seperate from the city loop.

Wow, another one bites the dust,
But December made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

Just split an Almond Croissant for dessert, all I can say is OMG. Wow, James Beard pastry.

Two weeks in a row, the pastries have been excellent. They are in the old library building north of cafe 324. Well worth the trip downtown.18475

One more memory from the Lincoln Lead. Right before you crossed Santa Fe, next to the last yard track going up to 36th, (called the back lead), was a short spur 3 cars long referred to as the Team...

That’s what we called the Lincoln lead. Way before I hired out in 1978, the Santa Fe had 15+ industries they serviced on that spur from Nowers yard. After you crossed Santa Fe street (on the...

Saw it’s going to be nothing Bundt cakes. O well.

The Rock quit in 1980, don’t know when the last service on this line was. There were a number of industries served next to 39th, just east of Ann Arbor. If you look at Google maps, you can still...

Looks like the Rock Island industrial spur was built between the two maps, 1947-1953.

Who’s doing the new bakery in Nichols Hill Plaza, perhaps Trish from Bradford House?

On my first visit to England, in 1978, (mainly to ride trains, with many footplate rides), I really enjoyed all the vegetarian restaurants. English cooking, then, was blah by continental standards...

It was amazing the plant still had rail service, the UP probably ran 2 times a week (a guess), would bring 4-6 carloads, run around them and take the empty cars. The plant used a ‘track mobile’ to...

Maybe Chef Ramsay sees a whole season of Kitchen Nightmares from OKC….

Since I switched the plant for a number of years, wondering what the ground pollution might be. We delivered cars loaded with cottonseed, and pulled cars with bales of cotton lint, and tank cars of...

Someone once said a grand jury could indict a ham sandwich, how about a plate of BBQ ��:wink::wink::wink:

If the railroad held an easement, the abandonment of the line automatically terminates the railroad's easement interest, and the interest generally reverts to the owners of the adjacent land owning...

The line was the Rock Island. When they went bankrupt, the ATSF was interested in operating the line from Memphis to Amarillo. One day a business car came into the GM yard, and we ( the switch...

Would this be a form of socialism for the well off?

Went a while back, nice ambiance, enjoyed the staff, but the food isn’t New Mexican. And the sopapilla was a horrible deep fried Lump of dough. Spent a lot of time in Santa Fe back in the 70’s-80’s...

It’s on one of my bike rides from Katy trail to Forest Park, with new paint, and new water sculptures in front, but not yet open.

Aren’t some of those buildings, picture #1, maintenance buildings for the old OKC trolleys?

And as I have talked about in the past, it’s a horrible track infrastructure. The whole line is running at 20 mph with 19 (or more) 10 mph slow orders. The line has the most grade crossings of any...

Reminded of Dirty Harry, ‘do you feel lucky?’

From morning walk, looks like there’s activity in the old Neon location, any news on what may be going in?
