SF Jct.

SF Junction is where the Frisco, Missouri Pacific, and Kansas City Southern crossed. The Ft. Smith and Western used KCS trackage rights until its abandonment in 1939 to reach its own track off the KCS mainline at Coal Creek, OK after passing through Spiro, OK. The Midland Valley used Frisco trackage rights to reach its own track at Rock Island, OK. Frisco passenger trains using Union Station left Frisco trackage here to return to their own track at GA Jct.
