 | | The Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas Railroad Company was incorporated on May 29, 1980, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad Company to acquire part of the Mid-Continent Route of the former Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company. |
 | | Following the closure of the Rock Island on March 23, 1980, the Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas was organized to acquire and operate that part of the former Rock Island between Dallas and Atchison, Kansas. |
 | | With the aid of the State of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas Rail Users' Association, an agreement was subsequently reached for the purchase of the line. |
