Today was a pretty important day for me, I begin my terminal leave with the Air Force. After 8 years I decided that it was time to move on.

After I did my finial out with the MPF, I made my way over to the Oklahoma Railway Museum. Now I heard they had the #75 Flagg Coal Company 0-4-0 locomotive for the weekend, and well I had to check it out before leaving for Colorado. I was just going to look at it....





Well once again I told myself I was just going to look at it... Well turns out after talking to then staff and volunteers for good part of an hour a time slot for "at the throttle" opened up, and before I knew it I was in the cab.



I didn't bring a camera with me other then my go pro that I had on my harley.. I did manage to record the whole experience but it's sideways and sound is off. Haha.







Byron and John Gramling made this day very special to me, and was a once and a life time experience for me.

Not "who." "What."

 

Obviously it refers to the previous owner of the Vulcan 0-4-0T pictured above. The current owners travel much of the country with the engine (which is transported by lowboy trailer), and offers folks throttle time for a fee.
