A Rock Island RDC visits the passenger depot at Booneville, AR, circa 1960. The Rock Island's mainline from Amarillo to Memphis is now out-of-service, possibly track is removed at Booneville. The depot itself burned down a few years ago. Photo by Hamilton C. Moffett, 1960. Submitted by Paul Moffett.
Howe, OK, was the location of a RI-KCS interlocking; it is from the crossing of these two tracks that we see what is left of the Rock Island mainline between Amarillo and Memphis, along with a few abandoned boxcars the RI Trustee evidently had yet to retrieve. Photo by Paul Moffett, 9/1/1982.

A "2 Tracks" crossing is paved over at OK Route 56 in Wewoka, but the crossbucks remain. The passenger station still stands as well, as seen behind the grade crossing. Photo by Mike Palmer, 6/8/2011.
Next to the Wewoka passenger station, an old caboose stands as a testament to the railroad that once went through town (despite it being a former Missouri Pacific caboose). Photo by Mike Palmer, 6/8/2011.
