@jointlinerailfan It was a little more complex than that, but sort of.

Was he headed to Texas on this video? when it came up through Arkansas?

[UPTRAIN]

@pianomanmaestro Yes, it was headed to Texas. It went south through Kansas and Oklahoma into Texas, and back up through Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
