FA-1 5204
FA-1 5204 at Oklahoma City, OK (date unknown).
OKC on the main line west of the yard (the yard sets east of the bridge you see in the back ground) and they are about to go under the ATSF and around Union Station trackage. The spur on the fireman’s side went to the connection track with the ATSF. The spur on the engineers side went to Producers CO-OP. Off the switch to Producers was a plant that rendered leather products. Many car load of dead cows were spotted, that made for some interesting smells. One of the switchman like to tell the story of coming eye ball to eye ball while tying a hand brake on a gondola load of cow hides. By looking at the consist I would guess that to be train QSF.
Special thanks to Jerome Lutzenberger.

FA-1 5209
FA-1 5209 at Van Buren, Arkansas on April 6, 1964 (Mike Condren).
The train is railroad northbound (geographically northeast at this spot). The photo was taken from near 11th Street and its intersection with Cedar Street. This is a block east and two blocks north of the Frisco’s Van Buren depot. At this location the train is just beyond the north turnout for the depot passing track.
The brick building over the FB-1 units is the rear of the gymnasium of today’s Butterfield Trail Middle School.
Special thanks to Mark Davidson.
FA-1 5217
FA-1 5217 at Tulsa, Oklahoma on July 1, 1962 (Mike Condren).
At this time the Frisco’s Cherokee Yard diesel service facilities still included the old roundhouse and its 100 foot turntable. These would be replaced in 1974 when a new metal diesel shop and service tracks were constructed.
Special thanks to Mark Davidson.
