Viewing Album:  CB&Q Steam Engine, Katy Cabooses, and More: Wichita Falls, TX
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:11/18/2017 - 11/18/2017
Album Info:Happy New Year, everybody! While I'm listening to the San Jose Sharks-Dallas Stars game, I thought I'd upload some more photos. Here's some shots of my trip to the Wichita Falls Railroad Museum. Located in North Texas (not Kansas), Wichita Falls was part of the Burlington Route, and there were quite a few Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy items in the collection-unusual to see if, like me, you're coming down from Oklahoma, which the CB&Q just barely ran through as it worked its way south. 1 steam engine, a Katy switcher, 4 cabooses, and several coaches make up the collection-you'll see some interior shots as well. Should you ever be in Wichita Falls, the museum only costs $2 to visit and is a must-see during your stay. Enjoy!

Burkburnett Katy Depot

Description:  On the way back, I went through Burkburnett and decided to try to see this museum. Their hours were not on their website, and sure enough, it was closed when I got there. Fortunately, I did not make a special trip!
