The photograph was taken at Lindenwood Yard. This is the Mechanical Department’s locomotive service tracks area northeast of the diesel shop. The north arm of the sand tower is visible above the second unit.

The high tension power line towers stand along and just south of the River Des Peres. This river runs along the northwest side of the yard, drains southwest, then east into the Mississippi River south of St Louis.

The view is looking northwest.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.

The circus train is eastbound on the Chickasha Subdivision. It is sitting just west of the Frisco’s 664 foot long bridge, 539.8, over the North Canadian River. The bridge is just west of the Frisco’s East Yard.

The buildings is the distance are part of the Producers Co-Op Oil Mill. This cottonseed compress oil mill is located at 6 Southeast 4th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This mill is just southeast of the metropolitan downtown area.

The view is looking northwest.
