OKT Peach yard
Posted by SFbrkmn on Friday, November 4, 2022 8:54 PM

Info being sought on history of how Katy's OKT operated the former RI Peach yard @ Ft. Worth during the 1980s. Lists of questions are:

1. Did Peach have its own YM shift position or was that title worked from the MKT side @ Ney?

2. Were there RIP track & eng service spots @ Peach or was the work done @ Ney?

3. How many yard jobs went on duty @ Peach per shift? 

4. OKT grain trains coming in from the north: did crews swap @ Peach or Ney? 

This is being sought for OKT book that is currently going through a draft manuscript process w/the publisher. I have KS & OK heavily covered but there are gaps w/TX that need to be filled in so the entire system and facilities can be covered in detail.

Sam, from former OKT territory in Wichita
