ATSF 2-8-0 #1 - Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe |
| Description: |
Great roster shot of Atichison, Topeka & Santa Fe 2-8-0 #1 built by Burnhams, Willliams & Co (Baldwin predecessor) in September of 1880 originally as ATSF #132. This is the oldest surviving ATSF steam locomotive. The loco had several numbers to the years - #912 in 1898, 2414 in 1900, rebuilt to 0-8-0, restored to 2-8-0 as #132, in 1950 overhauled with the new #1 and name "Cyrus K. Holliday". Finally donated to the Kansas Museum of History in Topeka, KS and renumbered one more time to #132. An unknown photographer caught it while it was #1. |

| Description: |
SP 10264 - The dining unit of 3-unit articulated coffee shop-kitchen-diner 10262-10263-10264. The car was retired in 1968 and was one of about 100 cars sold to Judge Roy Hofheinz in Houston for use as a motel in the ASTRODOMAIN hotel complex next to the Houston ASTRODOME (which explains why it was in Houston); but none of the cars were ever used and most were scrapped. This car and the 10265-10266-10267 were built by Pullman-Standard in 1949 for service on the SHASTA DAYLIGHT. |

MKT GP7 #121 - Missouri-Kansas-Texas |
| Description: |
This GP7 was built by EMD in December of 1952 as MKT 1752 but later was renumbered to MKT #121. After serving the MKT, it bounced over to the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad as AGLF GP7 #121 - later rebuilt and renumbered AGLF GP10 #8421. From the posted photos, it appears that the loco was cannibalized sometime around 1997. This color slide was from the Conniff collection and is now in mine. |

It looks like all GP40 units headed east between Houston and Katy. Today all of this is gone. UP abandoned this portion of the Katy. I-10 expansion covers the right-of-way and the fields in the background are solid shopping centers,subdivisions and concrete. UP kept the line from the town of Katy to the west (Katy is where the rice elevators are in the far background). |
