Southeast Kansas Railroad The Southeast Kansas Railroad (SEKR), incorporated in Kansas on March 17, 1987, became Watco's first short line. The railway ran about 104 miles from
Coffeyville, Kansas to near
Nevada, Missouri, at which point it had a connection with the
Union Pacific.
SKOL The South Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad was formed under Kansas Law on November 9, 1990. It originally acquired 287 miles of rail lines from the
Santa Fe. SEKR merged with SKOL effective January 1, 1999. The line has gone through a number of subsequent acquisitions, leases and abandonments.
Interchanges SKOL has interchange points at: Coffeyville, KS- UP; Columbus, KS – BNSF; Pittsburg, KS – CPKC; Wichita, KS – KO; Winfield, KS – BNSF & UP; Tulsa, OK – BNSF, SLWC, & UP via BNSF; and, Tulsa Port of Catoosa, OK – PC. The only part of the former SEKR system that still operates is Sherwin to Liberal. ==References==
