Katy grain |
Description: |
In the summer of 1988 business allowed me to make my third annual "last chance to shoot Katy" trip; this time I went to central Texas, where I found this train, pulling grain south at Elgin Tx, a point on the MKT main due east of Austin. The lead unit is one of the former Kennecott GP39-2s. It was about this time my companion told me I was standing on a fire ant mound- but that's another story. |

The MKT engine facility at San Antonio Texas was a treasure of clutter, grease and odd equipment that undoubtedly dated from the age of steam. GP38AC 327 retains its former ICG paint while the GP7 (123) and caboose sitting behind are in the road's late "John Deere" green scheme. |

The bridge at Carpenter's Bluff |
Description: |
This is the former Kansas Oklahoma & Gulf bridge spanning the Red River between Oklahoma and Texas. It was opened in 1910 on the Missouri Oklahoma & Gulf between Durant OK and Denison TX. MO&G became KO&G in 1919 and the route was abandoned a year after the 1964 merger into T&P in favor of MKT trackage rights between the same points. The structure has been used ever since for road traffic. This view is from the Texas bank looking roughly north. |

Cars go Here |
Description: |
The KO&G's bridge over the Red River was built with a cantilevered platform covered with boards on its east side that was intended for non-rail traffic. This is the auto lane; which was rendered irrelevent when the rail bridge lost its tracks and was converted to road traffic in 1965. This picture is actually from the Oklahoma side, looking roughly south. |
