Description
The former Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad Company (MKT), usually called the "Katy", served the states of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Its main line ran from Kansas City through Dallas and Austin to San Antonio. It also served St. Louis and Houston. Organized in 1870, the Katy was acquired by the Missouri Pacific Railroad in 1988 and merged several years later into the Union Pacific Railroad.
For auction is an employee pass from the MKT for the year 1927. It was issued to an officer of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway. The pass measures appx 4 x 2 1/2 inches and is printed on light-weight cardstock. It is in excellent condition, with no rips or tears; all writing/markings are from its issuance and use. It shows very little wear.
A great item for someone's Katy collection.
