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.

Picture 2 is looking west. Looking to the left you will see the new main line which diverges off the ATSF stock yard lead and ties back into the Frisco main line west of the rock pile. All the original Frisco main line is abandoned from this point east through Union Depot.
