The AT&L Railroad (reporting mark ATLT) was started in May 1985 by the Wheeler Brothers Grain Company operating about 49 miles (79 km) of former Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (CRI&P) track in Oklahoma. It replaced the North Central Oklahoma Railway who operated the track prior between 1983 and 1985. The ATLT is based in Watonga, Oklahoma. It is owned by the Wheeler Brothers Grain Company.

ATLT operates freight service from Watonga, Oklahoma to Geary to El Reno, Oklahoma 39.7 miles (63.9 km) and 9.6 miles (15.4 km) from Geary, Oklahoma to Bridgeport, Oklahoma. The line transports grain, fertilizer and agricultural products.^[1]

The Choctaw Coal & Railway Company built the east end of this rail line during the 1880s, then leased it in October 1894 to the Choctaw Oklahoma & Gulf Company. The route was then leased to the CRI&P in 1904. After CRI&P abandoned the line, it was acquired by the state of Oklahoma, and operated by the North Central Oklahoma Railway.
