Description:
The
Kansas, Oklahoma and Gulf Railway
(KO&G) was formed on July 31, 1919 from the assets of the bankrupt
Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf Railway
. The KO&G largely consisted of a single line from
Baxter Springs, Kansas
, to
Denison, Texas
, prior to its purchase by
Missouri Pacific
's
Texas and Pacific Railway
in 1964 and merger in 1970.
The KO&G owed much of its latter existence to its status as a
bridge line
between the
Missouri Pacific
at
Okay, Oklahoma
and the Missouri Pacific-controlled
Texas and Pacific Railway
at
Denison, Texas
. This traffic was the main source of revenue for the KO&G and was the primary reason that the MP acquired it.
The KO&G came under common control of the
Muskogee Company
(often referred to as the "Muskogee Roads" or the "Muskogee Lines") in 1925, sharing common management with the
Midland Valley Railroad
and the
Oklahoma City-Ada-Atoka Railway
from 1930 to 1964.
