Farmrail Railroad Motorcar Run
NARCOA trip sponsored by: Oklahoma Railway Museum in Oklahoma City, OK
January 19, 2008 - Clinton OK to Okeene OK - 124 miles
January 20, 2008 - Sentinel OK to Altus OK - 77 miles.

Early weather reports for this motorcar run suggested lows in the mid 30's and highs in the upper 40's. The harsh reality on Saturday morning Jan. 19, 2008 was 11 degrees at set-on time. The high for the day did not make it past 32 degrees.

Eight motorcars and three high-rail vehicles were hearty enough to weather the cold for a long run on the Farmrail Railroad. The cold was a challenge for the vehicles and the people operating them. Sunday was a warmer day and more along the lines of the original temperature predictions.

For the casual observer, twenty of the best images from the two day run are presented here. For those brave enough to take the photographic journey of this trip from your computer, the remainder of the images from the trip are available through links from this page.

Hope you enjoy the trip as much as I did. A big thank you to Drake Rice and the Oklahoma Railroad Museum for organizing this trip. And a thank you is not near enough to show my appreciation to Farmrail Railroad for allowing this motorcar trip on their railroad. Hopefully we can do this again on a day when the weather is not quite as extreme!
