I thought of a cool game. WOW!!! It sounded weird me thinking of somthing....lol But i start off i give you a hint about a railroad if you can get the answer correctly then its your turn then we just keep it up from there Alex
This RR is a SHORTLINE. It is part of the Anticosta corp. and it runs from Jeffersonville,IN to Columbus,IN(Maybe INDIANAPOLIS) People around the Kentuciana area should know this answer. Alex
OK, here goes: One of the earliest predecessors of this Class III shortline was called the Arkansas & Choctaw, and intersected with the Ft. Smith & Southern at the new village of Raymondvale (which was renamed after a famous novelist) in Indian Territory. The latter line was part of a route between St. Louis and Dallas, TX. Name this Class 1 spinoff.
No, sorry, just one guess per contestant. Good guess, but wrong answer One correction- the name of the town was Raymondvale, but it isn't now.
We have a winnah!! BINGO!!!!!! The Choctaw & Arkansas was a predecessor road from Ashdown west into Indian Tewrritory. It intersected the Ft. Smith & Southern (later a St. Louis-San Francisco line) an Raymondvale, later renamed Hugo for the famous novelist. The east-west line became part of the Frisco, I.T> became part of the state of Oklahoma in 1907. Frisco merged with BN in 1980, and in early 1981 the line north of Antlers, OK to Wister, OK was abandoned & ripped up. This part of the former Frisco's Central Division was spun off in 1987 and became the Kiamichi Railroad. Privately owned by the Hadley family at first, KRR was purchased by Statesrail in the late 1990s. Statesrail was later absorbed by Rail America.
Do you need a volunteer? I have one in mind, but I need to check my resources at home to make sure I have the info correct...
