Hograils in NWA Welcomes the Arkansas Session of Tulsa Line Lite
|
|
| Northwest Arkansas was honored to be a part of the Tulsa Line group on the three year rotation with our friends in Houston and Dallas/Ft. Worth. This year we operated with 23-24 operators on all day Saturday beginning in the morning, with Doug Farner's Blue Ridge & Southern, Ed Abbott's Milwaukee Road and Bob Moore's Columbia Cascade. The afternoon sessions were with next door neighbors Norm Bruce's Gulf, Colorado, and Santa Fe and John McBee's Pueblo Division. John and Norm were gracious to also host a chili supper for that evening before sending everyone home. Enjoy the photos below of the action!! | |
