Give notes and plans a railway-history connection with this Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway Spiral Notebook. The Orient railroad was founded in 1900 with a vision of reaching the Pacific, and its route and ambitions connected communities across several regions. Its history includes the Fairview shops fire, bankruptcy, two reorganizations, and the Santa Fe acquisition. A thoughtful notebook for rail enthusiasts, students of transportation history, and collectors who enjoy tracing the milestones behind a distinctive American railway.
Founded in 1900 by American railroad entrepreneur Arthur Edward Stilwell, the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway was planned as a route to the Pacific Ocean at Topolobampo, Sinaloa. Its United States portion was incorporated in 1900 and completed between Wichita, Kansas, and Alpine, Texas. Grading also took place between El Dorado and Bazaar, Kansas. The railway's primary shops were first located in Fairview, Oklahoma; after a fire destroyed them in 1910, they were re-established in Wichita. Forced into bankruptcy in 1912, the company was reorganized as the KCM&O Railroad in 1914, then returned to its original name in a 1925 reorganization. Commonly known as the Orient railroad, it and the separately chartered KCM&O of Texas operated 859 miles of track at the end of 1925. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway acquired the KCM&O in 1928, chiefly to gain access to West Texas oil fields, and later sold its Mexican portions. The railway reached Presidio in 1930, when the Presidio–Ojinaga International Rail Bridge was built. Operating rights on the San Angelo Junction–Presidio line later went to Texas Pacifico Transportation. The railway was a predecessor of Mexico's Chihuahua al Pacífico railroad.
