Bartlesville, Oklahoma: Checking out the AT&SF No.940

 On Christmas Eve we went up to Bartlesville (an hour north of Tulsa) to check out the steam engine they have on display.  They recently acquired and are refurbishing a caboose.  It was cold.  Cole did enjoy it a lot, but he didn't exactly complain when it was time to leave (the cold and his tummy yearning for the Chick-Fil-A he knew was coming helped make this easier)!  On the way home we counted oil pump-jacks!  We counted somewhere in the 40's from Bartlesville to Tulsa.
 What on earth do these things do? Steam engines are amazing. We need to look into this.


 How small he is compared to the wheels.
