Ozark and Cherokee Central Railway

At its maximum, it owned a standard gauge, single track line running between Fayetteville, Arkansas and Okmulgee, Oklahoma.

[2] The initial intent was to run west from Fayetteville into the Illinois River valley, to service the timber and fruit-growing areas there.

[4] The task was delegated to the separate Muskogee City Bridge Company, which was incorporated by Act of Congress on June 15, 1901.

[5][6] Along with O&CC’s own completion of the line from Fort Gibson utilizing the bridge, which arrived in Muskogee on February 1, 1903, the purchases gave the O&CC a standard gauge, single track railroad extending from Fayetteville to Okmulgee, about 144 miles in length.

[3] In subsequent history, most of the line east of Fort Gibson was abandoned by the Frisco in July 1942.
