Here's a pic of Guthrie, Oklahoma around 1910

This is the Oklahoma County courthouse and jail many years ago. I
don't know the year, but you can be sure Oklahoma City was young.

In 1904, that's before Oklahoma was admitted to the Union (1907),
Shawnee, Oklahoma had a cable car system.

In southeast Oklahoma is another little town by the name of Hugo,
Oklahoma. Here's a pic of the beautiful train depot there in Hugo.
Barely visible in the far right side is "Wells Fargo & Co. Express"

This is an engine that's located beside the depot there in Hugo.

And here is even another, much older train engine that is also kept
at the Hugo depot.

What many people do not know is they give train rides out of the
Hugo depot several times a week during the summer season. One time
it may take you south into Texas and then back. Another day the
train will travel up north of Hugo for a few miles and back. Each
trip is on the average a half day of fun. Here's the number to the
Hugo Heritage Railroad 580-326-6630 Their toll free number is
1-888-773-3768 and the address is PO Box 577 Hugo, OK 74743
