Katy freight train passes by the birthplace of Dwight D. Eisenhower in Denison, Texas


The town was named after the first vice president of the Missouri Kansas Texas (Katy) railroad, the successor operation today is Union Pacific.

The Katy GP40 leads a train past the birth house of U.S. President Dwight David Eisenhower; his father worked as a wiper, cleaning steam engines. This trackage has gone, although a short symbolic length has been left in place.
