MKT Railroad photos I've taken from the 1950s to 1980s. Most were taken in Texas and Arkansas (the Arkansas sightings are of the lines of MKT locomotives that came to Jenks Shops after the MKT and UP merged in 1988). Some are in black and white, some color. (Ken Ziegenbein photos unless noted, thundertrain@gmail.com)

Included Katy locomotives and rolling stock:
1) 'Big Hook' MKT 1227
2) A couple of single-dome tank cars
3) F-unit locomotive 71-A
4) Green-yellow striped locomotives (most in 'dead' line in North Little Rock, June 1989): 360, 239, 219, 98, 92, 93, 122, 96, 108, 104, 121, 106, 94, 154, 100, 102, 111, 217, 119, 101, 91, 116, 110, 120, 107, 112, 109, 123, 192.

This August 1955 photo was taken by me at New Ulm, Texas, now on the Smithville Sub of the Union Pacific. The New Ulm Katy depot was saved in the 1960s and is part of a large house in the area.
