[4] It continued building the OKC trolley network until 1931; the length varied, but at one point was about 28.7 miles.
[3] El Reno’s trolley system started out in 1902 at a mere two miles, served by a single gasoline-powered railcar.
[5] However, things changed after the El Reno Interurban Company (“ERI”) was incorporated on July 2, 1908.
[5] But the ERI had a bigger horizon: it constructed a line between El Reno and OKC, building the first 13 miles in 1909 from OKC to Yukon, Oklahoma, and finishing in 1911 with 12.4 miles from Yukon to El Reno.
[3][6] Its primary purpose was to operate a terminal (principally consisting of stock pens) in the stockyards district of OKC, but the project included 1.724 miles of mainline and 3.779 miles of yardtracks and sidings, and was built between April and October of 1910.
[3] It emerged from that in December 1927, only to land in receivership again in September of 1939, when it was handed off to the Federal government to run.
