The AT&L Railroad (reporting mark ATLT) was started in May 1985 by Wheeler Brothers Grain Company operating about 49 miles (79 km) of former Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (CRI&P) track in Oklahoma.

[1] The line transports grain, fertilizer and agricultural products,[2] with outbound shipments typically running in 110-car unit trains.

[4][5] The Choctaw Coal & Railway Company built the east end of this rail line during the 1880s, then leased it in October 1894 to the CO&G.

"Race the Rail" is an annual bicycle event that began in 2010, held during the Watonga Cheese Festival.

The bikers ride along US Highway 270/281 (which is parallel and very close to the railroad tracks) from Watonga to Geary, and try to catch the train on the return trip.
