Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railway
The Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railway was among several short-line railroads which in the first half of the 20th century extended like the spokes of a wheel from the hub city of Wichita Falls, Texas. Its principal owners were the entrepreneurs Joseph A. Kemp〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brian Hart, "Joseph Alexander Kemp" )〕 and his brother-in-law, Frank Kell.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=, J. W. Williams, "Kell, Frank" )
==Overview==
The Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railway Company was chartered with the intent of linking Wichita Falls with Englewood in Clark County in south central Kansas along the Oklahoma border. In 1906, the Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railway Company of Texas was chartered to build the 17-mile stretch of track from Wichita Falls, located along the Wichita River, north to the Red River, the boundary between Texas and Oklahoma. About the same time, the Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railway Company was chartered in the still Oklahoma Territory. This portion of the track never reached Kansas but instead several Oklahoma communities, Frederick in Tillman County and Altus in Jackson County, both in the southwestern portion of the state, to Elk City in Beckham County in western Oklahoma, and Forgan in Beaver County in the Oklahoma Panhandle. There was also a branch from Altus to Wellington in Collingsworth County, Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Donovan L. Hofsommer, "The Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railway" )〕〔The Texas State Historical Association bases its article on the Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railway on Hofsommer's ''Katy Northwest: The Story of a Branch Line Railroad (Boulder, Colorado: Pruett Publishers, 1976) and ''Townsite Development on the Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railway'', ''Great Plains Journal'' 16 (Spril 1977), pp. 107-122.〕
