M-K-T Engines

Engine 87
unknown railroad

The Katy never had the most powerful or the largest roster of steam engines, but they were always clean, trim and well maintained.  The running boards and wheels were trimmed in white, stardards that were maintained till the final days of the iron horse.  The trademake red M-K-T enameled herald on the engine tenders made Katy steam power standout from all others.
