At Sand Springs, the company also served his children's home, and Page directed all railroad profits to support the home's operations.

At Sand Springs, the company also served his children's home, and Page directed all railroad profits to support the home's operations. Passenger service was discontinued January 2, 1955, but the railroad has continued to operate until the present. Following a federal requirement to divest the railroad, in 1987 HMK Inc became the company's new owner, via subsidiary Sheffield Steel, operator of a steel plant served by the railroad. Gerdau Ameristeel Corporation took over the company in 2006. Shortline railroad holding company OmniTRAX purchased the company from Gerdau, which had previously shut down its steel plant in 2009, on July 1, 2014.
