FORT TOWSON, OK

Texas Oklahoma and Eastern Through the Windshield In honor of World Photo Day, here's one shot through the windshield because we weren't sure the train would still be there when we made it to the crossing!

I know that sounds really strange, but considering the luck (or lack thereof) we had trying to shoot the elusive Texas, Oklahoma and Eastern railroad that day, I think our concern was actually valid. — Texas Oklahoma and Eastern Through the Windshield Credit: woodyrr
