Show your appreciation for the Katy’s expansive history with the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt. Established in 1870, the railroad crossed into Texas from the north and went on to reach Dallas, Waco, Houston, and San Antonio. Its routes carried passengers and connected communities across four states, while the Texas Special became a notable chapter in its story. This piece suits cool days, rail-history outings, and relaxed moments for collectors who value the enduring identity of a landmark regional railroad.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway was incorporated in Junction City, Kansas, in May 1870. It acquired the Union Pacific Railway, Southern Branch, established in 1865, along with several smaller railroads that formed the basis of its network. The Katy laid its first rails across the Kansas border on June 6, 1870, and became the first railroad to enter Texas from the north. Its routes expanded through Oklahoma and Texas, reaching Dallas in 1886, Waco in 1888, Houston in April 1893, and San Antonio in 1901. In the 1890s, the railroad’s timetable abbreviation and stock symbol, KT, helped give rise to the nickname “the Katy.” Its network served Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, with access to Galveston through a jointly owned railroad. From 1915 to January 4, 1959, it operated the Texas Special with the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway. In 1988, the Missouri Pacific Railroad and its owner purchased the Katy; the Katy merged into Missouri Pacific on December 1, 1989. Missouri Pacific is now part of the Union Pacific Railroad system. Former routes later became trails, including the Katy Trail State Park in Missouri.
