They Tried But They Couldn’t Do It

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

A while back, about twenty years ago, there was a local history group interested in saving some old train cars left around the old train depot. That group never really got off the ground and the old train cars have been sitting ever since. (near Tulsa).

Local train fans tried to find a way to move the cars, or find a place for storage to no avail and the cars have since become scrap. The city itself had tried to find a way to salvage the depot and the train cars, but the building was too far gone to preserve and the cars just weren’t salable, even on Ebay.

At the very least the metal will be put to good use, recycled into something new. It’s still sad to see an old train go…
