KATY

Katy Texas is a Railroad town.

Founded out on the Texas Prairie as a Support point for railroad business. This most gracious Lady was on duty at the depot museum and was most informative and helpful.

Proud of it’s historical past, Katy’s

city fathers have faithfully restored

the old original  train depot.

Kept original to the extent that the

Period graffiti on the walls of the baggage handling area, drawn with coal lumps, some very talented, are still retained. Some of the charcoal work depicts of the era political statements and cartoon sketches.

Admission is by donation and the souvenirs are very reasonably priced.

   

This is located right by I-10 and is easy to locate.

If you are a steam rail fan, as we are, there are lots of cool steam era  displays here.

The Katy High School FFA Rodeo starts tomorrow night. The arena is located behind the High School and the Carnival rides started showing up today. Admission is $7. for Adults.  This rodeo has a good National reputation and is always a good show.  Yeh, we just couldn’t help ourselves, we had to go snoopin’ roun’ over there.
