| Post subject: | Splitlog's BIRD IN HAND |
(From KCSnotes)The Kansas City, Fort Smith & Southern Railway Company was a shortline running from Joplin, Missouri, to Sulphur Springs, Arkansas, when it was acquired by the growing KCP&G in 1893. It would become part of the KCS main line. The KCFS&S had been built by a Wyandotte Indian entrepreneur named Matthias Splitlog. Can anyone tell us anything about what became of Splitlog's private railcar named BIRD IN HAND, which was purportedly decorated with gold leaf? |
