Is there any tracks of the Central Kansas Railway and Kansas Southwestern Railways (OmniTrax lines) left, or has all of the lines been torn up?
Kansas & Oklahoma Ry (WATCO)
In July of 2001 Watco Company merged the KSW and the CKRR into the Kansas&Oklahoma RR…It operates in three directions out of Wichita,Ks. to a Western point that used to be on the Co/Ks Line at Towner,Co.(?) It is listed as comprising some 840 miles total track. It was comprised of former AT&SF lines W(but at some point UPRR must have had some of their lines(?) When traveling in Western Kansas, I noticed that many of the signal boxes at many rail-highway crossings had UPRR ‘contact number information’ stickers on them(?)
The line that reaches to Colorado was the former Mo Pac to Pueblo, hence the UP markings.
