 | | On September 26, 1906, the promoters chartered the Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railway Company of Texas, to construct the seventeen-mile stretch from Wichita Falls to the Red River. |
 | | This longer part of the line, and actually the parent road, would be extended, not to Kansas as originally planned, but to Frederick, Altus, Elk City, and Forgan, Oklahoma, with a branch westward from Altus to Wellington, in the Texas Panhandle. |
 | | Service to Wellington began on November 10, 1910, and to Forgan on November 1, 1912. |
