Western Railroad Discussion > My 1st dance with Miss Katy

Kathi & I were on a little tour of antique shops in the El Dorado-Augusta-Wichita area back in April of 2011. I somehow convinced her to let me show her the old Wichita Union Terminal building & grounds in downtown Wichita. I knew Santa Fe’s old 4-8-4 # 3768 & FP-45 #93 were now living there, but I wasn’t aware that UP’s Katy heritage unit was also on hand that weekend.

It was the very first time I saw Miss Katy up close and personal. It pays to be lucky once in a while…

1. UP 1988, the M-K-T heritage unit is on a short-term display at the Great Plains Transportation Museum in Wichita, KS on April 15, 2011.

Thanks for looking!

Did you have to put your name on her "Dance Card" to get that shot. :)
A nice one by the way.

Nice catch for sure but everytime I see that primer looking nose and star it reminds me of Russia.
