Good stuff! Farmrail is part-owner of Finger Lakes Railway in New York; I got hired by the latter as a Train Dispatcher and had the pleasure of dispatching the former between 2013 & 2015. Spent a week & a half out there in 2013 for Rules & Physical Characteristics, and while I did bring the camera, I only shot the KCS during my trip. Was a little nervous being brand new to the railroad about outing myself as a buff, so I kept the camera out of sight while around Farmrail property - in hindsight, it wouldn't have been an issue. Anyway, glad to see someone's documenting Oklahoma, especially the western half! While it is basically red dirt & grain elevators, it does have a beauty all its own, and it deserves far more coverage than it receives. Farmrail itself is a class act operation with a great bunch of dedicated guys that I miss working with.
Stumbled across your channel while looking for potential ideas for a road trip here in a few months. Killer video, you definitely deserve more subs. Enjoyed it a lot.
Amazing how we always railfanned in different areas on the same day multiple times. I was in Norman filming trains & caught a fakebonnet leading a train around the same time you caught that warbonnet. LOL!

One note on your Farmrail map, the Sayre - Erick segment of the old RI line has been rebuilt and is back in service.
It has? I assume there's some sort of new frac sand business on line in Erick now? If that's the case, I really need to get out there and document it!
@@WestOkieRailroadVideos yep, very large transloading facility for Badger Mining (frack sand supplier). Not sure how often trains go out there.
Farm rail also owns a railroad up in NY called Fingerlakes Railway and its main base of operations is in Geneva ,NY
Awesome video, as always! Can't wait to make a good railfanning trip up to Enid myself.
Beautiful shot around 11:20

Funny how that works out, huh?
Enid's museum is cool too.
Love that P3!
Pretty sure the locos in the thumbnail are "Grainbelt" rather than Farmrail (though they're the same company).
+West Okie Railroad Videos Great video I really enjoyed it :)
Nice Video! Does Enid get lots of Trains?
Great stuff enjoyed
Glad you enjoyed it
Connects to transcon at Avard.
Great video. I subscribed to your channel as well!
excellent video, I assume all of farmrails GP10s are off the roster?
I know they still have a few left on the property but for the most part yes, they've gone elsewhere
I tried to film today my my camer decided to flop
