Texas, Oklahoma and Eastern Railroad

The Texas, Oklahoma and Eastern Railroad (reporting mark TOE) is a Class III short-line railroad owned by Patriot Rail Company of Jacksonville, Florida, with 39.3 miles[1] of track in southeastern Oklahoma.

[4] Specifically, the TOE runs from Valliant, Oklahoma through Wright City, Broken Bow, and Eagletown to the Oklahoma/Arkansas border, where the DQE continues through De Queen, Lockesburg and Dierks to Perkins, Arkansas.

[1][3][5] The TOE was chartered October 21, 1910 to build a railroad from Valliant eastward to De Queen, but was quickly acquired by DQE.

[1] From an early date, ownership was held by Dierks Lumber & Coal Company, later Dierks Forests, which used the lines to haul primarily lumber, paper, coal and grain.

But they also carry bulk products like corn, stone, soybeans and chemicals.
