The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (reporting marks MKT) was incorported May 23rd, 1870. In its earliest days the MKT was commonly referred to as "the K-T", which was its stock exchange symbol; this common designation soon evolved into "the Katy". [Wikipedia]
It all looks so antique. The wagon, sign and clapboard siding stand out in excellent detail.

I love history like that, Kanyi. But I almost had to laugh at the date because by being in Europe now, that seems so YOUNG! :)

Nice shot Kanyi. Have to say I'm kinda partial to that name. They couldn't have picked a better one...;)
Thanks for the history lesson!

Lovely perspective, although maybe better if the whole cart was in shot!

Amazing how things used to be built.....I wonder but doubt if anything from our time will be anywhere in as good condition in 150 years from now. Nice shot, I like the compositional elements here.
