Former MKT Depot |
| Description: |
This was the former Missouri-Kansas-Texas depot at Elk City in northwest Oklahoma. This was on a 305-mile line that had run from Whicita Falls up into the Panhandle to a connection with the Beaver Meade & Englewood at Forgan, and it had been abandoned through here in 1973. One block to the left was the former Rock Island depot, which was being used by Farmrail. This was on the Rock's line between Memphis and Tucumcari. |

Choctaw Route station |
| Description: |
The Rock Island station at Elk City was still in good shape, and I think being used by Farmrail when I saw it in 1984. Most of the line did not fare so well, and long stretches of abandoned right of way extended across the Texas panhandle and on into New Mexico. |

NAHX 570382 - Looking North From BNSF 1032 |
| Description: |
At 22:55 on 12-29-2003 loaded grain train G-SJOLAR9-26 (BNSF 4648, NS 9361, BNSF 1032, 103 loads, 0 empties, 13,789 tons, 6087 feet) failed to stop at the red signal at the west siding switch at Pauls Valley. This trian struck train H-PTRSTL9-28 (BNSF 4349, BNSF 4866, ATSF 609, 22 loads, 45 empties, 4222 tons, 3809 feet) as it was taking siding. This resulted in the derailment of the three locomotives on G-SJOLAR9-26 and four cars (OCPX 62871, DOWX 79567, DOWX 79678, and NATX 82801) on H-PTRSTL9-28. This series of photographs documents the recovery process from first light through the ballasting of the installed track panels late in the evening. The main track was placed back in service at 15:05 on 12-30-2003. This view is from the cab of BNSF C44-9W 1032 onthe main track. Parked in the siding are damaged cars NAHX 570382, NATX 73604, and NATX 71865. |

Rock remnant |
| Description: |
After the Rock Island went bust in 1980, much of it returned to nature, but a few parts took on a second life where there was enough traffic to support operation. One such place was on the Choctaw Route in western Oklahoma, where segments of the Rock and some other roads castoffs became part of an operation called FarmRail. A couple of their ex Illinois Central diesels sit near the old Rock station in Elk City. |
