The Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway, started in 1900 by American railroad entrepreneur Arthur Edward Stilwell, was the predecessor of the Chihuahua al Pacífico railroad in Mexico. It was intended to reach the Pacific Ocean at Topolobampo, Sinaloa. The United States portion was incorporated in 1900 as the Kansas City, Mexico, and Orient Railway. It was completed between Wichita, Kansas, and Alpine, Texas. Grading took place between El Dorado and Bazaar, Kansas. Primary shops were first located in Fairview, Oklahoma. In 1910, the Fairview shops were destroyed by fire and the shops were then re-established in Wichita. The railroad was forced into bankruptcy in 1912, but its receiver, William T. Kemper, was to make a fortune when oil was discovered under its tracks. In 1914, it was reorganized as the KCM&O Railroad. Another reorganization in 1925 returned it to its original name. It was popularly called The Orient railroad. At the end of 1925, KCM&O and KCM&O of Texas (the portions of interstate railroads in Texas were required to be under unique charters) together operated 859 miles (1,382 km) of track over 738 miles (1,188 km) of right of way; they reported a total of 330 million net ton-miles of revenue freight and 8 million passenger-miles. The KCM&O was acquired by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in 1928, mainly to gain access to the West Texas oil fields. The Santa Fe then sold the Mexican portions. The railway reached Presidio in 1930 and the Presidio–Ojinaga International Rail Bridge was built. Operating rights on the portion from (65 miles [105 km] NEE of San Angelo) to Presidio (known as South Orient Rail Line) later were awarded to Texas Pacifico Transportation. (en) La Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway (KCM&O) était une compagnie de chemin de fer américaine qui fit partie durant quelques années des chemins de fer américains de classe I. (fr) La Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway era una compagnia ferroviaria statunitense. Fondata nel 1900 dall'imprenditore Arthur Stilwell, è stata la predecessora della Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacífico, nel Messico. In origine, la linea ferroviaria doveva estendersi fino all'Oceano Pacifico a Topolobampo, nello Stato del Sinaloa. La parte statunitense fu creata nel 1900 con il nome di Kansas City, Mexico, and Orient Railway. Collegava Wichita (nel Kansas) con Alpine (nel Texas). Altre località che attraversava erano El Dorado e Bazaar, entrambe nel Kansas. Le officine di riparazione erano situate a Fairview, nell'Oklahoma. Nel 1910, un incendio distrusse le officine a Fairview, che in seguito furono ricostruite a Wichita. La ferrovia entrò in bancarotta nel 1912, ma, il suo curatore fallimentare, , fece le fortune a seguito della scoperta del petrolio sotto alcuni pezzi del tracciato della linea. Nel 1914, venne rifondata con il nome di KCM&O Railroad. Nel 1925 avvenne un'altra rifondazione, che riportò la ferrovia al suo nome originale. La ferrovia era soprannominata The Orient. Alla fine del 1925, la KCM&O e la KCM&O of Texas (poiché, secondo un atto costitutivo statale, le ferrovie interstatali nel Texas componevano un'altra linea a sé stante) gestivano 1 382 km di tracciato su 1 188 km di ; secondo i dati, erano stati trasportati 330 milioni di merci e 8 milioni di passeggeri. La KCM&O venne acquisita dalla Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway nel 1928, che le permise l'accesso ai campi petroliferi presenti nel Texas occidentale. La Santa Fe vendette la parte messicana del tracciato. La ferrovia raggiunse Presidio nel 1930, nello stesso periodo furono completati i lavori del . La parte del tracciato (nota con il nome di South Orient Rail Line) da (105 km a nord-est-est di San Angelo) a Presidio venne in seguito acquistata dalla Texas Pacifico Transportation. (it) |
