On
Dec 31, 1987, Lammers taped the destructive excavation of what was to
be the oldest steamboat on the Missouri River. This boat sank on May
5, 1820 some 179 years ago just west of Boonville, MO.

In the
winter of 1991 Lammers acquired a Katy caboose from the Union Pacific
RR and donated it to the City of Boonville, my home town. We placed
it on the tracks by the old Katy Depot which was built in 1912.
The
Union Pacific Challenger, the largest running steam locomotive in the
world, rolls into Boonville, 1993.
The Katy Depot is the only surviving Spanish-style depot on the katy
RR Line. The Boonville Area Chamber of Commerce and the DNR's Katy Trail
headquarters are now located inside.
