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. The Katy was the first railroad to enter Texas from the north. Eventually the Katys core system would grow to link Parsons, Fort Scott, Junction City, Olathe, and Kansas City, Kansas; Kansas City, Joplin, Jefferson City, and St. Louis, Missouri; Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Temple, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Galveston, Texas. An additional mainline between Fort Worth and Salina, Kansas, was added in the 1980s after the collapse of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad; this line was operated as the Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas Railroad (OKKT) m.youtube/watch?v=yWKaMLhHMss
