On May 3, 1902, the line was incorporated as the Acme, Red River and
Northern Railway. The founders' original, never-realized plans were to extend the line 500 miles (800 km) from the Red River to
184:, Boothe Spur, and Floydada. In 1925, QA&P reported 8 million ton-miles of revenue freight on 91 miles of line; in 1944, it had 51 million and in 1967, 130 million, both on 120 route-miles.

On June 8, 1981, the QA&P was merged into the
Burlington Northern Railroad, which had merged the QA&P's corporate parent, the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway, on November 21, 1980.
