Featured: the last trip of the Katy Flyer, from Parsons, KS to MacAllister, Texas; a ride in the cab from the Franklin Yards, Franklin, Missouri to St. Louis; an inspection tour of the Katy 311 (the only surviving Katy steam locomotive), with Conductor J.B. Garrett; a close-up look at the old Boonville Katy Bridge with its operator, C.D. Gregory ushering the last Katy freight across the Missouri River. And, much, much more! | |

| 110 Min The men who rode and worked the KATY lived most of their lives on those ribbons of steel. Their stories make up both the legends and the true grit of railroading. In this remarkable set of interviews, Lammers elicits many of these tales from two of those men, a conductor and an engineer. On October 25, 1952 these two men poured on coal and took the famous and only existing steam-driven locomotive, the KATY 311, to its final destination: the Museum of Transportation, in the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood, Missouri. Lammers includes many photos of this event and footage he shot along what is now the KATY Rail Trail. | |

| 85 Min If you're a Katy fan, you'll lik'em·I plan to view [the tape] again just to make sure I didn't miss anything. Don Banwart, Editor, Katy Flyer It was 1941, just ten days after Pearl Harbor, when two Katy trains, each with two locomotives, rushed head on into one another at Jefferson City, the capital of Missouri. Nationally renowned railroad author and historian Raymond B. George interviews the last surviving crewmen about that horrible day. Historic photos and video footage punctuate this one of a kind interview as the survivors tell of both the heroic and the humorous happenings at the crash site. This program pursues the investigation and reveals, for the first time, the four fatal words left out of a telegrapher's train order that resulted in the collision. CONTINUE |
