Old Beck
"Old Beck" was the nickname of a steam locomotive that ran on Rock Island Railroad’s 25-mile branch between Shawnee and Asher, Oklahoma. ==History of the Branch== Three corporations operated the Shawnee-Asher branch during its 40-year history. The first five miles, from Shawnee to Tecumseh (which at this time was the county seat), was built in 1896 by the Tecumseh Railway Co. Cost of construction was not recorded. On October 12, 1900 the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf (C.O.G.) bought the property and franchise for $12,000 and promptly built 20 more miles of railroad to extend the branch to Asher, up to the bank of the South Canadian River. Cost of the extension is recorded as $422,873. Rock Island took over operations on March 24, 1904. Total investment in the branch over the years is estimated at $451,103.
