My Grandfather worked for the Katy, on this part of the line from Osage to Parsons KS. He told me about the Steam engines being serviced at this Tipple coming in from Oklahoma City. He said him and his friend Skeeter would be on a siding with their motor car and watch the fancy people on the train heading to KC.

Thanks for the great history with the modern update. If you want more, check out the incredibly dull but very detailed book titled “The KATY Railroad and the Last Frontier” by V.V. Masterson.
