Westbound at Fletcher
Looking back to September of 1983 again, today’s slide takes us 150 miles south from the big curve at Belva on the AT&SF transcon in Oklahoma to the ex-Frisco between Chickasha and Lawton. Three ex-Frisco GP38-2’s are leading the southbound local from Oklahoma City to Quanah, Texas through Fletcher, Oklahoma.
GP38-2 2287 leading is the ex-Frisco 432, and with its Leslie S5T blaring and mars light sweeping from side to side, it is easy to imagine it still painted mandarin orange and white.
