Former Frisco station Okmulgee, OK, Dec. 28, 2008.

Fairbank-Morse switchers like this H10-44 were used extensively in Oklahoma, but no where else on the system. I have photos of them in service in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Muskogee and this shot in Okmulgee. They were concentrated near their maintenance base in Tulsa. Note the classification lights on the front of the locomotive. These were required on all locomotives used in road service. Road units have these as built-ins. They must be additions, probably from retired steam engines that used this style of "class-light".
