This is a locomotive parked as an exhibit at the Tulsa Fairgrounds. It spent it's working life deep in the forests of Southeast Oklahoma pulling lumber trains for a logging company. This photo was taken ten years ago, since then, a group of retired railroad company employees have taken it over and really spruced it up. They are looking for a new home for it. I love old train stuff, what can I say! I worked for a short time for the oil and gas sub of Union Pacific Railroad. They still send me their railroad calendar every year and I love it.
