Rail Road Depot
RMC - Rail Road Depot
The first railroad build into Roger Mills County was the Clinton Oklahoma & Western Railroad (COW Railroad for short). It ran from Clinton to Strong City.
The people of Cheyenne were afraid that Strong City might become the County Seat, so the town of Cheyenne built their own Short line from Strong City to Cheyenne and it was nicknamed the CALF. The depot was located in the north part of town and was bought by CO&W. Santa Fe extended their tracks from Clinton to Pampa. The last train ran into Cheyenne in 1981.
The Depot was bought and moved to Woodward, OK to serve as a cafe, later bought by Windle Turley who had it moved back to Cheyenne. The Historic RMC board members restored the depot and have finished it with original railroad artifacts.
