Denver, Enid and Gulf Railroad

Incorporated in Oklahoma as the Denver, Enid and Gulf Railroad Company, March 31, 1902, by the five Frantz Brothers.

[3] Starting at the south end of the line in Guthrie, Oklahoma, the DE&G departed from the AT&SF mainline just north of downtown and curved northwestward, paralleling, then crossing the sand-choked Cimarron River on a long wooden pile bridge.

The line continued northwestward through several small farming communities, servicing grain elevators.

North of Cherokee it bridged the Salt Fork of the Arkansas River, including a long wooden trestle over the flood plain.

In March 1949, Northbound train number 54 left Guthrie at 8:15 AM Central Time, arrived in Enid at 9:55 AM, and terminated in Kiowa at 11:55 AM.
