A Few Highlights from the New AT&L Album

Here's a few of my favorite photos.  You can scroll down to the previous post to see the link to the whole album






First Photo Album

Ladies and Gents,

Here is the first album of railfanning pictures that I've been able to upload!

It's my pictures from two visits to the Austin, Todd & Ladd RR in northwest central Oklahoma.  The AT&L is owned by Wheeler Brothers Grain and primarily exists to serve their elevators in Watonga, Greenfield, and Geary.  It also serves an elevator at Calumet and I hear that it hauls loads for the local oil and natural gas operations from time to time as well.  It interchanges with the Union Pacific at El Reno, and owns a unique little hodge-podge of locomotives, including an old CF7.



I'm working on adding captions to all the photos, but if you have information or stories to share about the railroad, please share by all means!

Introduction

Hi everyone!  My name is Alex Bogaski, I'm a Christian, husband, Oklahoman, Soldier, and a die-hard railfan and model railroader.  I've found a great deal of blogs very helpful as I have developed my passion for trains, and I thought that I'd start one of my own to chronicle what I've learned and hopefully help continue to spread the knowledge.  More posts and photos are forthcoming.  Enjoy!
