Quastler & Reisdorff. For 100 years, the city of Parsons, Kansas, and the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (M-K-T or "the Katy") enjoyed a close and mutually beneficial relationship. Parsons was the site of the railroad's main locomotive repair shops until the Katy's merger with the Union Pacific in 1988. This volume examines that connection and shows how it affected economic stability for both the town and the M-K-T. 168 pages, 115 B&W photographs and illustrations, 10"x 7", softcover. #0R03471
