Album Info:If you are ever on Highway 81 heading through Duncan, Oklahoma, head east on Beech and hook a right on 15th! There, you will find Rock Island 905, a 1910-built 4-6-2 carefully preserved by the citizens of Duncan! This engine even has its own museum, as well as an old Missouri Pacific caboose that visitors can tour. It is definitely worth a visit!
