[OKDXA] Off Topic But Of Oklahoma Interest: Big Boy Schedule #17 as of 07 Jul 2021

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

And I don't believe that UP's Big Boy will ever
run east of the Mississippi River!  I believe it will
only run on UP trackage or shared trackage.

73 - Mac, K2GKK/5
Since 30 Nov 1953
Oklahoma City, OK
USAF (Retired) 61-81
FAA (Retired) 94-10

"OT is my middle name" - November 5 "off topic"

Thanks Mac.  I am not assimilated into the culture as much as many (I'm
from Los Angeles and grew up with the Santa Fe <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsfrhms.org%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7C%7C0ba84d502ce84a92199408d9457aaf3f%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637617215530816850%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=tf5eJ%2FDRMpM1TwURIIj8t6GS1VbnnFSWAL1seHTbA54%3D&amp;reserved=0>),
but a quick look at this page <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frailfan.com%2Ftimetable%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7C%7C0ba84d502ce84a92199408d9457aaf3f%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637617215530816850%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=nhM7fKMlW%2F0SykhNOaq1YOA%2F2wlkNAN5FZqTrWj%2FInA%3D&amp;reserved=0> shows the
Union Pacific's Big Boy to be in Pennsylvania at that time.  I would
take the time to go see it if it was a day trip in Oklahoma, for sure.
Any idea?
