MKT List of surviving Katy depots

From the MKT group, this list of surviving depots, posted by Bruce Blalock.

Hello,
>
> Its time for me to resubmit my list of existing Katy depots for updates.
>
> For this list: A depot (passenger, freight or combination) is a public place, where people (in addition to employees) can arrive or depart by train, pick up and send express shipments and conduct business and telegraph communication. A yard office, like Eureka, was never a public place. If that were to be included then a huge
number of other buildings should be included as well. New locations are shown if the structure has moved. Thanks for keeping depots only on this list.
>
> These are arranged loosely in a North-to-South, subdivision by subdivision format.
>
> If you know of others, or corrections or additions to this, please contact me off line and I'll make changes. Addresses would be welcome, as well any other pertinent information about the structure, its use or owners.

Bruce in a great guy. He and his wife run a bed and breakfast in Smithville. He is currently restoring an old Katy caboose in the back yard for another bed room. He still works for UP and shows up in Houston a lot. I can usually recognize him on the scanner.
