Viewing Album:  2018 BSMRM Trip to Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma
 
By:Jay Epstein
Dates:6/5/2018 - 6/9/2018
Album Info:Every year a bunch of guys from the Bay State Model Railroad Museum (bsmrm.org) take a week long railfanning trip somewhere in the USA. This year we started by taking the Southwest Chief from Chicago to Kansas City. From there we headed south towards Carthage, MO, west to Tulsa, OK, north to Wichita, KS and then back to Kansas City. We saw trains on the KCS, BNSF, UP and various shortlines.
