Explore Tulsa recently uploaded this informative clip about the Route 66 Village in southwest Tulsa.
Mike Massey, train project manager, explains the vintage Frisco Meteor 4500 locomotive, rail cars and the Red Fork commemorative oil derrick on the site.
I do hope the volunteers can renovate the inside of that circa-1929 passenger car so visitors can tour it. The locomotive already is a popular photo op; having the car open again would make it a bigger destination.
While you’re at it, take a look at the future plans for the Route 66 Village.
