The former Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad aka “The Katy” as seen from a modern day Union Pacific freight train. In late October of 2018 I set out from Fort Worth on the UP Choctaw Sub to put myself in the position to ride the KCS south with fall colors. While the ride north to KC on UP would take me less than 24 hours, I would end up spending the next week and a half pushing south toward Nuevo Laredo where I had plans to ride further into Mexico.
