Abandoned SLSF Spur:
The BNSF routes out of Oklahoma City included a former Frisco (SLSF) line that headed southwest through Lawton and Altus to an interchange point at Quanah, Texas. At some point after year 2000 this line was spun off to the Stillwater Central. A short segment of the original line near downtown Oklahoma City has been abandoned, but most of the track is still place, as seen here. Note the signal masts are missing their crossbucks.

Abandoned SLSF Spur:
The new crossing signal for the Oklahoma stockyard spur is placed in the right-of-way of the SLSF remnant. The Oklahoma stockyard spur, which passes behind the signal, used to cross on a diamond; as seen here, the diamond has been removed and the abandoned rails cut to accommodate the active track. The former SLSF line heads away from the camera. Photo by Mike Palmer, 4/14/2011.
Warr Acres Industrial Spur:
This short spur connected the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific's mainline route to a line on the Oklahoma Railway, an electric interurban line, that ran a few block north of and parallel to the CRI&P. In its later years, the spur served a number of industries in the Warr Acres area of Oklahoma City. Here, the abandoned right-of-way crosses NW 10th Street, shortly after branching from the CRI&P mainline to the south. Photo by Mike Palmer, 4/14/2011.

CRI&P Interchange:
The former Rock Island freight station now used as a Police substation. This area is called "Bricktown", a revitalized downtown area just east of the Santa Fe (BNSF) tracks. Photo by Mike Palmer, 6/10/2011.
