MKT Inspection Car #1045 - Missouri-Kansas-Texas |
| Description: |
According to the Oklahoma Rwy Museum webpage where the car is now, "this unique one-of-a-kind inspection car was built in 1973 at the Katy's (M-K-T) shops in Denison, TX, from a former 40' all-steel Pullman-Standard boxcar. The car was painted green and used by M-K-T's operating department for track inspections between 1973 and 1988. However, due to delays, it was instead sold to the U.S. Army, who painted it red. The ORM acquired the Inspection car from Fort Sill Army Base where the car was used as an office to do load plans to ship out military trains and trucks. MKT 1045 remained at Fort Sill, OK, until 2012 when it was transferred to the ORM. It was repainted into its original MKT paint scheme 2016-2017." Larry R. Stiles slide |

| Description: |
Here's another view of the unique Missouri-Kansas-Texas home built inspection car #1045 as it takes a turn on a St Louis turntable. Built by the MKT shops from a 40' Pullman-Standard boxcar in 1973, it served the Katy until 1983. A complete history of the car is online at the Oklahoma Rwy Museum where it now resides. Funny how the large windows with the blinds and the painted "V" in front make it look like a face with eyes, eyebrows and a mouth! Larry R. Stiles |
