About The Katy Railroad Historical Society
The Katy Railroad Historical Society, a non profit organization, was formed in
Parsons, Kansas, on October 1, 1977 with a nucleus of 43 charter members. The purpose
of the society is to bring together in close association those persons who have a common
interest in the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, known to many as the Katy. To increase
the enjoyment of their interest through appropriate activities. These include; group trips
to points on the railroad, photograhic excursions, photo, slide, and video shows, meetings,
discussions, and other undertakings of a fundamentally social nature. The encouragement of
members to contribute, as they are able, to the collection, compilation and publication
of interesting data pertaining to the Katy, including preservation of such information for
future reference. The increase of knowledge of and fostering of goodwill towards the M-K-T
Railroad among members and the general public. The promotion of good fellowship among the
members through ethical social functions found to be benefical, educational, and morally
wholesome to those interested in the Katy Railroad.
Our annual KRHS Spring Meet held at locations on or near the Katy lines feature photo, slide and
video shows from the collection of members and other historians. Display tables are setup
to display your Katy models and artifacts, and vendor tables featuring materials pertaining to
the Katy and other railroads for purchase. The annual business meetings and evening banquet
featuring guest speakers associated with the Katy or the transportation industry. A tour of
local Katy and other railroad related facilities is scheduled for your enjoyment.
