A couple photos taken while out with a few of my friends in the Sonoran Desert last Sunday (9/18/22):

A washed out sections of track of the old San Diego & Arizona Railway. This track used to be on a raised berm above the wash, but has been destroyed by past flash flooding.

In 1915 a tanker car exploded in Ardmore, OK, destroying several blocks and killing about 50 people. This engine, called the Mercy Train delivered medical personnel and supplies a few days later. It was restored and placed here several years ago. I’ve shared a photo of it in the past, but just recently learned the story behind it.

East side of the Ardmore, OK ATSF depot and a feller waiting for the Heartland Flyer. It was 20 minutes late when I gave up and left, don’t know how much longer he had to wait. A northbound freight had the road blocked the whole time.

With this car you can travel on the railway tracks

Cool drive! until you come across an oncoming train

It looks very minimalistic for lact of a better word. Perhaps the idea is that you and your passenger can pick it up and take it off the track before the train hits you
