Californina bound Burlington Northern Santa Fe 4303 West passing Quinlan, Oklahoma. Pulling the long trailer train on this warm winter afternnon were BNSF Dash 9-44CW locomotives #4303 and #5151 with Norfolk Southern Dash 9-40CW #9417.

This was my first visit to the town in over a decade. During the intervening years the old grain elevator at this location has been razed. Also, the line is now double-tracked to the east end of Belva (approximately five miles or eight kilometers east of here).
