Debi, While trying to locate my grandfather, Robert Sidney "Sid" Dodson , who was a "Railroad man", I was told he may have retired from the Katy Railroad. Do you know if that was The Kansas City Southern Railroad? He was born 1871 Tx so the time frame might be ca 1912, regarding his retirement. He lived in Muscogee, Ok. Would it be feasable that the Katy operated there or nearby? One of his sons, Thomas Dodson ,died in a railroad accident after 1925 . If you can shed ANY light on this mystery, I would be very grateful.
