HISTORY WITH BIBLIOGRAPHY
Railfans, history buffs, and general readers alike will be moved by this vivid account of the "little giant of the southwest." The writers explore the Katy's race through Indian Territory, its struggles to survive bad times, bankruptcy, bandits and bureaucracy to become the "lean mean machine" it is today. Many rare black and white and color photographs are featured in this first system wide coverage ever on this colorful railroad. KATY POWER is characterized by the authors' scrupulously detailed coverage in both words and photographs. Separate chapters are devoted to each major type of locomotive, with a tabulated roster of motive power for each chapter. Rolling stock and line-side structures also come in for their share of attention in this all-encompassing work to make KATY POWER an instant classic.
