Two memories of the Katy. Can remember the Katy covered wagons, F units on the old Rock Isand after MKT took over after it went into receivership. They made quite a show up going west up ‘Choctaw hill’.
And when I hired our on the ATSF, working at the Nowers yard between 23rd and 36th, there was at least one prior right switchman that came over to the Santa Fe when it acquired the rights on the old Katy line thru Midwest city and on to Shawnee.
