The (KO&G) was formed on
July 31 1919 from the assets of the bankrupt
Missouri, Oklahoma And Gulf Railway . The KO&G largely consisted of a single line from
Baxter Springs, Kansas , to
Denison, Texas , prior to its purchase by
Missouri Pacific 's
Texas And Pacific Railway in 1964.
The KO&G owed much of its latter existence to its status as a
Bridge Line between the
Missouri Pacific at
Okay, Oklahoma and the Missouri Pacific-controlled
Texas And Pacific Railway at
Denison, Texas . This traffic was the main source of revenue for the KO&G and was the primary reason that the MP acquired it.
The KO&G came under common control of the
Muskogee Corporation (often referred to as the "Muskogee Roads" or the "Muskogee Lines") in 1925, sharing common management with the
Midland Valley Railroad and the
Oklahoma City-Ada-Atoka Railway from 1930 to 1964.
