Most passengers boarded the special Friday evening and are ready for an early morning departure from St Louis on the BNSF’s former Frisco mainline to Springfield where we change crews and have an opportunity to disembark. We then continue on to Tulsa where we tie up in Cherokee yard. And because we are parked in the middle of an active yard, we must remain on the train.
