Viewing Album:  Scenes from Sedalia-Katy and MP Stations, Frisco and Reading Steam Engines, Merci Boxcar, and Caboos
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:1/26/2019 - 1/26/2019
Album Info:Well, I had planned to go see the Kansas City Mavericks play the Utah Grizzlies (hockey, for those of you who don't know), so I figured I'd sightsee in some town in Missouri, drive part of the way back to Topeka and stop to see the game, then drive the rest of the way afterwards. Turns out the game was sold out...so I didn't get to see it. But the trip was hardly for nothing! Sedalia was once a major part of the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railroad, and their depot (which had offices for the railroad) is still standing. So is the Missouri Pacific's station, which is still used by Amtrak! Oh, and make sure you get to the fairgrounds, or you'll miss 2 steam engines AND Missouri's boxcar from the Merci Train, a set of 49 freight cars sent by the French to the US after World War II in thanks for our help against the Axis. A lot of great things to see in Sedalia, and the people there were really nice. If you ever get a chance to visit, be sure to stop by!

Sedalia Katy Depot
Title:  Sedalia Katy Depot
Description:  It was designed by Bradford L. Gilbert, who also designed the Katy Depot in Parsons, Kansas. That one, also bigger than most, was lost in 1970 to urban renewal. Thankfully, the same fate did not befall this one.

Title:  Sedalia Katy Depot
Description:  Of course, the Katy was taken over by Union Pacific in 1988, and most of the Missouri trackage was abandoned. The section in Sedalia, however, became part of the 200+ mile Katy Trail, the longest rail trail in the United States.
