Yup. I worked for them in 1981 and 1982. Lots of work rebuilding the tracks down around MacAlester. Then work replacing old rails with the new welded types down around and in Dallas. The MKT runs about two hundred yards east of our place. Mainline. Parsons, Kansas was the headquarters, with Denison, Texas later taking its place. Both have tons of KATY stuff. Lots of people around here worked for them. My wife's Great Grandfather was an Engineer. There were KATY hospitals at both those towns. I think the one at Parsons is now abandoned. I used to go through there a lot, but seldom do anymore. Union Pacific owns the lines now.
