The Texas and Oklahoma Railroad (TXOR), created in 1991, ran between Oklahoma and Texas on rail purchased from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF).
[1] It purchased two disconnected segments of track from the AT&SF, about 351 miles in total.
[1] The trackage was part of a line that had originally been laid around 1908 as part of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway, an attempt to link Kansas City, Missouri to its closest Pacific Ocean port, Topolobampo, Mexico.
[2][4] The northern and far longer segment purchased by the TXOR ran from Cherokee, Oklahoma south through Fairview, Thomas, Clinton, Altus and into Elmer on the Oklahoma state line.
[1][5] Then it continued into Texas near Chillicothe to the Orient rail junction located just north of the town of Sweetwater.
