In 1887, the Santa Fe Railroad extended its tracks into Indian Territory, strategically placing the station at the highest point in Oklahoma County. This location facilitated the acceleration of trains departing in either direction, benefitting from the downhill gradient. Named after Edmond Burdick, Santa Fe's traveling freight agent, the station became integral to the region. Even though most remnants of the original railroad infrastructure have vanished, the Santa Fe, now under the banner of BNSF, continues to traverse the same course. The genesis of the town of Edmond can be traced back to the remarkable events of the Oklahoma Land Run on April 22, 1889. Rapidly emerging around the Santa Fe station, Edmond's original plat was devised by the Seminole Town and Development Company—a recently established syndicate with affiliations to the railroad. Streets in the town bore names associated with figures linked to either the Santa Fe Railroad or the town syndicate. The inaugural mayoral and city officer elections transpired in May 1889, with Edmond's population recorded at 294 in the 1890 census. A noteworthy landmark in Edmond's early history is the first public schoolhouse in Oklahoma Territory. Completed in August 1889, this historic structure on 2nd Street between Boulevard and Broadway remains accessible to the public on the first two Saturdays of each month or by appointment. St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, the initial church to open its doors after the land run, found its place on the southwest corner of East First and South Boulevard. While the original building and location have changed, the congregation still endures. In December 1890, the territorial legislature took a significant step by establishing three universities: the state university in Norman, the agricultural and mechanical college in Stillwater, and a "normal" or teaching school in Edmond. The Territorial Normal School (University of Central Oklahoma), inaugurated on November 9, 1891, held its first classes in the Methodist Church on the southwest corner of North Broadway and West Hurd. The iconic Old North, the Territorial Normal School's initial building, commenced classes on January 2, 1893, preceding the openings of Central Hall and Science Hall at Oklahoma State University. Milton W. "Kicking Bird" Reynolds founded The Edmond Sun on July 18, 1889, making it the state's oldest continuous newspaper with roots dating back to Oklahoma Territorial days. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1711317699.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1711317699.jpg |

4-12-2, Union Pacific Type; Only one railroad, Union Pacific, utilized the 4-12-2 wheel arrangement in freight assignments. As a result, the engine's were given the "Union Pacific" moniker. Curiously, despite its troubles with the 4-10-2 Southern Pacific/Overland it had purchased from the American Locomotive Company (Alco) a year earlier which utilized three cylinders UP still chose to purchase a design that featured the same setup. The railroad was after a more powerful locomotive, which could be used in main line freight service at higher speeds and apparently was willing to deal with the maintenance headache of three-cylinder steam. During the late 1920s UP went on to roster nearly 100 examples of this interesting wheel arrangement and overall the railroad turned out to be relatively pleased with its operational service. The 4-12-2s remained in use for nearly 30 years until they were finally retired in the 1950s. Today, one example is preserved ---- She had the longest rigid wheelbase of locomotives in North America, measuring 91.5-feet. ---- The locomotive generated 4750 horsepower, giving her the ability travel up to 50mph. (Info share from americanrails address) ---- With tender, the Union Pacific had a total weight of 807,099 lbs. She could carry 42,000 lbs of fuel and 18,000 gallons of water. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1711321037.jpg Submarine model from Raiders of the Lost Ark. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1711321037.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1711321037.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1711321160.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1711321160.jpg |

The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking. My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said, "Nothing." The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?" At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions. Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts? Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know? Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question. Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion: A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child." But you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts." I rest my case. Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap. |

A teeny bit related... The trivia question was, "what pony car did Chevrolet introduce in 1967?" The guys in our group looked at me like monkeys doing math when I said it's the Camaro because the Mustang is a Ford, and it came out in '64. One guy countered, "I'm a car expert and it's the Mustang." Yeah, we lost that round. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1711476498.jpg |

These horses or "pit ponies" were deprived of experiencing the sunlight and fresh air. Instead, they lived in darkness underground, relying on their instincts and the guidance of their human partners, known as conogons. These horses were born, worked, and perished in the dark, enduring strenuous labor. It was not uncommon for a single horse to pull up to eight heavy coal wagons alone. Despite their challenging circumstances, these animals maintained their dignity and were aware of their rights, such as refusing to move if they felt burdened with excessive wagons. They also possessed a remarkable sense of time, knowing when their working day should end and finding their way back to the stables even in darkness. This demanding work of horses in the mines continued until 1972 when technology took over, marking the end of an era. On December 3, 1972, Ruby, the last miner's horse, emerged from the mines in a grand fashion. Accompanied by an orchestra, Ruby, adorned with a flower wreath, was brought out of the darkness, symbolizing the conclusion of the era of mining horses and their connogon partners. To commemorate their shared labor underground, a sculptural composition named "Conogon" was erected within the Museum-Reserve "Red Hill".
