That would be some train ride. Excellent track on BNSF Chicago to KC, then on the old FRISCO (BNSF) to Ft. Scott, then to Afton, then to Tulsa, then on the SLWC @ 25 to OKC. Now, north to Perry on the BNSF, and with a new connection, west on the old FRISCO to Enid, and Avard, and finally back on the old ATSF mainline to Amarillo.
