So it was running about 45-60 minutes or so ahead of the schedule? I had a feeling it would run early.

What are the chances that they would take the same route home?

Does anybody know why they are going to OKC?

I saw the train sitting in OKC Tuesday about 5:00. I'd like to catch some photos of it in action tomorrow, but I need help with a schedule... anybody?

The police security detail said that it is "invitation only" and for legislators.

They might. But then again it IS Union Pacific.

The train was turned around overnight. It is lead by E9's 949 and 951. Unfortunately the sun was wrong for any great pictures this morning. The police said it's leaving town today, but they didn't know what time. It's sitting on the line south of Bass Pro Shops near downtown Oklahoma City, pointed west. I'd take off some more time from work if I knew about what time to catch it.

Thank you papio!!!!!

I got some shots at Western Ave in OKC. The train left about 1:55. I got in front of it again at Council, but it was moving pretty fast at that point and I didn't see it again before I gave up in Yukon.
