Yay my fav railfan is back

[@WestOkieRailroadVideos]

Thanks!

[@ragsbarhog2277]

Great videos. I much appreciate rail action in NW Oklahoma because I think it's one of the most scenic parts of state. I've never seen a track warrant before. Very educational. Many thanks for that. Watch the heat.

[@WestOkieRailroadVideos]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ragsbarhog2277]

@@WestOkieRailroadVideos Ever think of catching some of the east/west BNSF traffic that runs from Avard to Tulsa?

[@WestOkieRailroadVideos]

Funny you should ask, the next video coming is from Perry. There's a few trains on the Avard sub in there.

[@thecarolinianrailfan8339]

Nice!

[@thebnsftracker1317]

LOL I was out that same day in Norman & filmed 2 trains. My weather station said it was the hottest day of the year at 112 degrees. Also u didn't tell me u had a new video out man! Its awesome!

Did that track have block signals when Rock Island owned it?

[@WestOkieRailroadVideos]

Yes it did! I believe this line was signaled with ABS blocks back in the 70's, but that system was left off in favor of track warrant control in the 80's with the OKT railroad.

When was it that hot there? Is that recently?

[@WestOkieRailroadVideos]

This was filmed July 20th, 2018. Forgot to put that in the description.

[@thebnsftracker1317]

The date is in the description.

Where do you get one of those radios?

[@WestOkieRailroadVideos]

As with most everything else these days, I got my scanner on Amazon. This was the cheapest model available at the time. Check out the Uniden Bearcat series of scanners and see which model fits your needs the best
