Welcome! This site was formerly known as "Stillwater
Station", but I decided to change the name when I updgraded the site, since the site coveres the entire state of Oklahoma.
I'm still working on changes, so some of the links and pages may not work.
History
I started the first Stillwater Station on an OSU-hosted website back in 1995; at the time
focusing on the Santa Fe's Stillwater District (or Sub). Space was limited, so I re-established
this website at Geocities. The constant pop-up ads were annoying, and when Railfan.net began offering
free web space, I was all but willing to move again.
Special Note to Genealogists
Every so often, I get an e-mail inquiring about an ancestor who worked for a
certain railroad or just "on the railroad in Oklahoma". I don't have access
any railroad employment files, so unfortunately, I'm not much help in that area.
Generally, there is a historical group which focuses on each of the larger railroads (the Katy Railroad Historical Society,
for example) that may or may not have access to these sorts of records. Check out the "Links to Other Sites" as some of these groups
do have a presence on the web.
If you don't know the name of the railroad, you might
also try searching for a historical group in the city or area that your ancestor was employed in. Sometimes these groups recieved donations of
employment records.
In any case, best wishes on your search.
