Prior to the merger between the Burlington Northern and the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe in 1995, the line between nearby Caney Kansas into Tulsa Oklahoma was the main north-south rail line through Washington County Oklahoma. The line came out of Caney Kansas on the town's west side, then continued south into the town of Copan. It ran roughly parallel with Caney Street, and continued on the west side of downtown Copan, then exited the town to the south. Towns and cities in Washington County Oklahoma that were served by the line were, Owen Township, Copan, Dewey, Bartlesville, Ochelata, Ramona, and Vera. It continued south into Tulsa County Oklahoma through Collinsville, Owasso, into Tulsa. The existing switch is located west of Greenwood Avenue where it merges with the current BNSF Cherokee Subdivision through downtown Tulsa. There were as many as eight trains a day that ran this line. It was fully signaled.
