The name was revised in 1909 to substitute building to El Paso for building north. The Frisco system was the parent company for the Quanah, Acme and Pacific. In 1957, Jeanette Cook, a graduate student at Texas Tech, did a research paper on the railroad's history, which appeared in edited form in the Quanah TRIBUNE-CHIEF.
