Also try Route of the Rockets by Greg Stout. The trains that ran on this line depended on the year, and they changed often.

You should get a copy of Steve Allen Goen's DOWN SOUTH ON THE ROCK ISLAND, published by Four Ways West. It contains a wealth of information on Rock Island passenger service in OK and TX.
