Established as a short line railway in 1903, the Acme, Red River, and Northern originally connected the gypsum plants at Acme, Texas, with the Frisco line just outside of the Red River. In 1909, the line was extended west to Paducah and renamed the Quanah, Acme, and Pacific Railroad. The line extended to Floydada, Texas, in 1928, but failed to receive approval for any further extensions. Comanche war chief, Quanah Parker, visited the railway headquarters in Quanah on occasion to see what he termed "my railroad."
