The Enid and Tonkawa Railway was incorporated on July 20, 1899, under the laws of the Territory of Oklahoma. The company constructed a railroad line from North Enid, Oklahoma to Billings, Oklahoma, 26.7 miles, in that year. Passing through what would become the town of Breckinridge, Oklahoma, the line would in the future intersect the tracks of the Blackwell, Enid and Southwestern Railroad, built though that same location in the 1900-1901 timeframe.
