Jammed |
| Description: |
The Wagoner stop posed some space issues, since the train was pulled up south of 5th St, a block from the diamond with the ex MKT, which we see in the foreground. It didnt leave a lot of room to park, and the streets are narrow as it is. We grabbed a shot and took off, wanting to beat him to Inola, a fairly straight shot for the train, but almost 30 miles by road. |

Big crowd |
| Description: |
As with everywhere the train stopped on this trip, the crowd at Nowata was big, as just about the whole town turned out. I got this shot holding the camera over my head to get a slightly better angle. We quit the chase here, heading back to Tulsa for a good dinner at Saltgrass Steakhouse. |

Overhead view |
| Description: |
I had taken the Winnebago as a chase vehicle, given that the Covid pandemic has taken on new life in the past six weeks, and this would give me a fridge and a bathroom that I didnt have to share with the rest of the world. It also made for a good place to shoot photos from. I used the ladder on the back of the RV to get this shot from the roof, getting a commanding view of the 4014 and the entire train. |

After the street shot downtown, I went up to the Arkansas River bridge and set up. Its a good shot, with the railing on the old highway bridge here enforcing a strict photo line. It was one of only a few unobstructed views all day. |

Helping out |
| Description: |
UP typically sends a diesel as back up-you need to have some insurance against tying up the railroad when operating 80 year old equipment-in this case, a freshly painted GE. The last time the 4014 was here, the assist was provided by SD 70MAC 4015. This unit would stay with the 4014 all the way to Cheyenne. |

Another shot along the highway |

There was a freight stopped ahead of the 4014, so progress was slow, but it did allow for some relaxed chasing, and I was able to pick spots along the way, such as this spot along SR 88. |

Through the trees |
| Description: |
One of the less appealing things about the ex MP route was the lack of overpasses, and that there were a number of places that were hemmed in by trees, a situation I would largely not have to deal with on a subsequent chase a week or so later in Kansas. Approaching a crossing north of Nowata. |
