Alex-- The Rock Island's May 1951 public timetable shows 3 passenger trains in each direction betwen El Reno and Oklahoma City: Nos 51/52 (The Choctaw); Nos 111/112 (The Cherokee); and Nos 511/512 (The Oklahoma Rocket). The running times between the 2 stations were from 35 to 45 minutes. Times at El Reno were: No 511 12:35 p.m. (Arrival) No 111 10:25 a.m. (Arrival) No 51 10:40 p.m. (Arrival) No 512 3:30 p.m. (Departure) No 112 4:10 p.m. (Departure) No 52 6:15 a.m. (Departure) Passenger service on this and other Rock Island lines changed quite a bit during the 1950s, so if you're interested in a later date, you'll want to consult later timetables. The Rock Island Technical Society has great information on its website http://storm.simpson.edu/~RITS/ --John
