Katy grain
Title:  Katy grain

The bridge at Carpenter's Bluff
Title:  The bridge at Carpenter's Bluff
Description:  This is the former Kansas Oklahoma & Gulf bridge spanning the Red River between Oklahoma and Texas. It was opened in 1910 on the Missouri Oklahoma & Gulf between Durant OK and Denison TX. MO&G became KO&G in 1919 and the route was abandoned a year after the 1964 merger into T&P in favor of MKT trackage rights between the same points. The structure has been used ever since for road traffic. This view is from the Texas bank looking roughly north.

Cars go Here
Title:  Cars go Here
Description:  The KO&G's bridge over the Red River was built with a cantilevered platform covered with boards on its east side that was intended for non-rail traffic. This is the auto lane; which was rendered irrelevent when the rail bridge lost its tracks and was converted to road traffic in 1965. This picture is actually from the Oklahoma side, looking roughly south.
