4. 2:30:30 i got "ALOT" of info about the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad and their H-3 pacifics for you @Train of Thought 👍👍

   1. The "Katy"(nickname for the MKT railroad) never had large steam locomotives like 2-8-4 Berkshires, 4-8-2 Mountains, 4-8-4 Northerns or any articulateds.

   their largest locomotives were the H-3a pacifics and the L-1 and L-2 mikados, they also had 2-6-0 moguls, 4-6-0 ten wheelers, 0-6-0 and 0-8-0 switchers, 2-8-0 consolidations, 4-4-2 atlantics and 4-4-0 Americans.

   2. The first H-3s, the H-3a class were built starting in 1915 by Alco in Schenectady New York, these had the largest tenders on the entire railroad.

   3. The last katy railroad pacifics, the H-3d class, were all built by Lima locomotive works in 1923

   4. These were very reliable as they were used on every single passenger train the Katy railroad had such as: The Katy Flyer, The Katy Limited, The Bluebonnet, and The Texas Special
   5. The Bluebonnet & The Texas Special were two passenger trains that both the Katy and the Frisco jointly ran.

   6. The H-3 pacifics were pulling the Texas Special and The Bluebonnet train long before the Frisco T54 class 4-8-2s and even the Frisco's 4-8-4 northerns were built.

   7. All of the Katy's steam locomotives were all scrapped with the exception of one, a 4-4-0 numbered 311.
   311 is currently on display at the Museum of transportation in the suburb of Kirkwood in St. Louis Missouri.
   As of today, 311 is thankfully getting a cosmetic restoration returning it to it's appearance when it ran revenue trains on the MKT.

   8. The Katy rebuild a 40ft boxcar into a track inspection car numbered 1045, it's the only one they ever built.
   and happily this one of a kind car is currently at the Oklahoma railway museum and it does see use on tourist trains.

   9. The MKT painted an EMD GP40 numbered 200 and a caboose in Bicentennial colors, the caboose is on display, but the GP40's whereabouts are unknown.

   10. Hallmark Models Inc. made beautiful Ho scale Brass models of the Katy's H-3a pacifics, L-2 mikados, J-5 moguls, and the C-2-a 0-8-0 switchers back in the 1960s.
   Lionel recently made a usra pacific painted as one of the scrapped H-3d pacifics, number 411.
   and heavyweight passenger cars painted in the colors of the Texas Special passenger train,
   which in real life the Katy did paint their heavyweight cars like that.

   11. The reason its called the "Katy" is because the railroad simply traveled through Kansas and Texas, KT. Hence, locals began calling the railroad as the "Katy"

   12. There's a song about the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad: "She Caught the Katy" from the blues brothers.

   And thats alot major of stuff i know about the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad!

   I REALLY hope you do a video on it Train of Thought as this really is one of the most obscure railroads from the United States.
   not many know or even talk about the Katy as much in comparison to railroads like Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Frisco, Southern railway, etc.

5. I had to leave midway through the stream, so I’m catching up on it now. I just got to the part where ToT says he supports trans folks. And maybe it’s because I’m a bit sick today, but I teared up. I’m trans and it feels like roulette sometimes, trying to figure out whether people are chill or if they hate my guts.

   Thank you so much, ToT. Hope you have a good rest of your day/night. I’m so glad I found this channel (both for the trans thing and for all the cool train stuff; you make great videos).

10. and here we see some kind of steam loco looking for welsh coal in order to make itself as high as the sky, as this is how it's able to live and breathe, and the coal can be found inside of small unsuspecting wagons, such as this poor fellow, who is currently getting mauled to death by the predator.

13. 1:36:01 it has a well tank and an auxiliary back tank behind the bunker

14. 1:35:16 fairly sure it’s an 0-4-0 that got converted to have its bunker enlarged and needed the extra wheel to balance it out.

16. 1:01:50 Thats NZR R class #28 "On 23 March 1907, R 28 was running the Boat Train to the wharf at Lyttelton to connect with the Wellington ferry when it ran the stop-block. The driving frame, wheels and engine took a dive into Lyttelton harbour, but because of the design, the rest of the locomotive remained on the wharf."
