Sorry about the tree.
I was over by the State Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City around Portland Ave. and noticed that UP has put in a brand new wye with 136lbs welded rail.
I found this jewel being switched around in the yard in Oklahoma City.
This train was long. Its length with the power was 7853 ft. The siding at Flynn is 8460 ft. Another 300 ft. on both ends of the train and it would have been against the signals at the north and south ends of the yard.
