Midland Valley Railroad

The Midland Valley Railroad (MV) was incorporated on June 4, 1903 for the purpose of building a line from Hope, Arkansas, through Muskogee and Tulsa, Oklahoma to Wichita, Kansas. It was backed by C. Jared Ingersoll, a Philadelphia industrialist who owned coal mining properties in Indian Territory (now part of the state of Oklahoma).〔("Midland Valley Depot in Pawhuska, OK." ) Accessed May 11, 2015.〕 The railroad took its name from Midland, Arkansas, a coal mining town in western Arkansas, which was served by the railroad. The Midland Valley gained access to Fort Smith, Arkansas via trackage rights over the Frisco from Rock Island, Oklahoma.
In 1967, the Midland Valley Railroad was merged into the Texas & Pacific Railroad, which was absorbed by the Missouri Pacific Railroad in 1983. Midland Valley is now extinct.
==History==
MV completed construction of its initial system in 1906. It constructed a branch to the Glenn Pool oil field, which generated a lot of traffic and stimulated MV's revenues. MV extended the line as far as Kiefer, but closed the Glenn Pool-Kiefer section in 1936. Competition from other railroads caused a decline in MV's fortunes, especially during the Great Depression.〔(Augustus J. Veenendaal, Jr., "Midland Valley Railroad," ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture''. ) Accessed May 11, 2015.〕
Muskogee, Oklahoma, was home to the Midland Valley's headquarters and shops. In 1925, the Midland Valley acquired the Kansas, Oklahoma and Gulf Railway. Both railroads were owned by the Muskogee Company, a holding company, which purchased a third railroad Oklahoma City-Ada-Atoka Railway in 1929. Muskogee Company was headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.〔
