Viewing Album:  Trip to Gainesville, TX
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:10/11/2014 - 10/11/2014
Album Info:Pictures from my trip to Gainesville, TX, on October 11, 2014. It was the day of the OU-TX game, so they extended the Heartland Flyer to 5 cars. Ironically, however, they did not use number 189, the unit with "The Heartland Flyer's Big Game Train" painted on the side. Regardless, it was a great trip. Train was on time both ways.
