Arkansas & Oklahoma B23-7 No. 4062 leads a train to interchange cars with Union Pacific in Oklahoma City.

Although General Electric B23-7s dominate the Arkansas & Oklahoma’s roster, the railroad does use a few Electro-Motive Division locomotives and has previously even rostered a couple of Alcos. With heritages ranging from Santa Fe to Chesapeake & Ohio, and Cuyahoga Valley Scenic to U.S. Department of Defense, these locomotives have seen a lot and many are still hard at work in the Southwest.

Harwell in the June 2012 issue of Trains magazine!
