On Shorpy:
Today’s Top 5

Could this be …

… the cleanest, best-groomed railroad yard ever to grace the pages of Shorpy?

The Katy

Here we see a baggage car from the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad, nicknamed "The Katy" for its initials, MKT.

Known to legions of Blues Brothers fans from the opening credits with "She caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride."

He was proud to be.

There's a great future in plastics.

Not a plastic bag or single piece of litter in sight.

They like holding hands and pitchin’ woo

On the tracks to the left --

I see him. The Okie from Muskogee.
