CRIP 314 |
Description: |
EL RENO OK Feb 2 1980 -- Three railfans, one a Rock Island employee, traveled to El Reno and got permission from the division super to enter the shops and take night shots. We trekked through the Engine/car shop and set up for our first shot which was unit 314. Sadly, we forgot to check in with the shop foreman. He saw the flash units and politely asked us to leave. We came down on the side of reality and beat a hasty retreat. This was the one and only photo from the evening. Live and learn. |
