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 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. |
