Originally known as the Katy’s Northwestern Division and later as the Western Subdivision, the line’s primitive construction featured ties directly on the barren prairie. Its bucolic nature, coupled with an overnight boom in traffic during the annual wheat harvest each June provided an excellent visual commentary on the hard-economic conditions which plagued the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad during its final decades of existence.

Some of the Old Greer County areas featured in this Video are the MKT operations on the northern half of the Western Subdivision during 1988-1989 as well as nostalgic look back at earlier operations during the 1970’s. Motive power featured include GP-7’s, GP40’s and GP38’s. Some of the locations include Welon Yard & Altus. This video has a running time of 78 minutes. ( )
