Diesel on the MK&T Railroad, November 1966, Tulsa, OK

Looks like an old diesel parked or moving slowly across Boston Ave., November 1966, Tulsa OK. I have four of these. Not sure why they were taken, but there has to be a story behind them. 1966 was about the time demolitions were going on in the area, in preparation for the IDL, which was just north of this station. This was taken in front of the old MKT passenger station, which was one of Union Depot's predecessors. The station sat on the MKT tracks between N. Boston Ave., and N. Main. North of Cameron., so just a stones throw from Cain's Ballroom.

The street in the foreground is North Boston Ave.. This photo is looking northwest.

NOTICE: I'm still learning about all this rail stuff and information online about this old stuff is not always easy to come by. If I'm mistaken about any of this, or have gotten some bad info, there's no shortage of people out there, that would get a thrill from telling me I'm wrong. So, I'll make a correction if needed. In other words, just enjoy the photo!
