MKT Logo on Bluff in Rocheport

The logo is actually located very close to the first spot where you can see the river while traveling east from Rocheport. It is about 18 inches tall and about 7? feet off the ground. It is next to a piped spring, and quite close to the Ted Jones Memorial marker. I had spent so much time unsuccessfully looking for the logo that I thought others might appreciate the help.

I was told by my father, Roy H. Rude, who worked for the Katy 48 years (5 years on the section gang and 43 years as a brakeman and conductor) that his grandfather, George W. Welbern, who was a section foreman on the Katy Railroad from about 1880 to 1929, placed that logo on the bluff sometime before his retirement. My grandfather, Harry L. Rude, replaced his father-in-law (George Welbern) in that position 1929.
I hope this logo will continue to be restored and maintained.
