The Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway Company, which was chartered on May 1, 1900, to build across Kansas and Oklahoma, with later connection to Topol obomapo (a distance of 1,600 miles), to completed by its parent company, the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway Company of Texas (Orient of Texas). Actual construction started near Sweetwater, Texas, in 1900, and in 1903 the tracks had been constructed from Wichita, Kansas, to Fairview, Oklahoma Territory. Construction proceeded slowly due to lack of funds, but in 1909 the line stretched from Wichita all the way through Oklahoma by way of Clinton and Altus into Texas as far as San Angelo. Alpine, Texas, where a connection was made with the Southern Pacific, was reached in 1913. However, in 1912, the Mexican Revolution began and much of the company’s tracks were destroyed and funds ran out throwing the company into receivership.
