The Drumright Historical Society Museum is located in the frame Santa Fe depot on the east side of Drumright. Standing at the west side of the depot is St. Louis-San Francisco (Frisco) Coach 1062. This railroad coach was constructed in 1910 and was what was called a "heavyweight" as it has steel frame, sides and roof. In 1942, it was modified, with the addition of air-conditioning, new seats and improved lighting.
This is a 60-seat coach which rode the routes through eight States. It was moved from Jenks, OK in 2006, for display at the museum. For a full history of the coach, visit SLSF 1062
