Volume 7, Issue 39 - Feature #902

First Revenue Train - NW Oklahoma...

I seem to recall that the railroad was called the Buffalo Northwestern (a.k.a The Sanbur Special). I beleive it was financed in part by establishing The town of Brace and selling building sites in Sabin Braces Pasture to Alva and Waynoka Business. No town was ever built and Mr Brace got title back thru Quit Claim Deeds. However Brace was a Flag Stop and there was a small one room waiting building there after WW2. Also there was a siding, cattle pens and in the early days a weigh scale and the Alva Coop or the Alva Roling Mill. I am not sure which bought Wheat there during the Harvest Season and shipped to Alva or Waynoka.
