Assuming a stop in Parsons, KS is scheduled this could be a go-to 
location for the Tulsa folks.

Also note the mention of a Big Boy in Scranton, PA.  That's most likely 
at the national park called 'Steamtown' which is exactly where you'd 
want to be if you were a vintage choo-choo.  Scranton / Wilkes-Barre 
sits on top of what is often cited as the largest known deposit of hard 
rock anthracite in the world.  No kidding...  The Ashley breaker 
processed millions and millions of tons over 50+ years and the _one_ 
mine it came from is still viable.

just add water.
