M-23 at the combination yard office/station at the west end of the KO&G yard in Denison.

"Bear" Brown describes this station
"While the Main Street KO&G psgr/frt station was in use, they had a small yard office near the east corner of--and inside--the wye. When #9, the motor from Muskogee arrived in the afternoon, it paused at the yard office so the conductor could register his train's arrival before it proceeded up the hill to the station on Main Street. Sometime in the late '40s, they razed the little, frame yard office and built a new combination yard office and station at the same location. They laid a spur alongside on which to park the motor overnight. At that time, use of the Main Street station was discontinued. The new YdOff/Sta was built of concrete blocks and painted white. It included a loading dock for l.c.l. freight."
