The sudden swell in population caused freighting problems for the railroad and stocking problems for local merchants, who were forced to explain to customers that their goods were lost in the “Wewoka Switch.” This excuse was used so often that the phrase “caught in a Wewoka Switch” became a popular way of saying that one was caught between a rock and a hard place.
