After a number of troubled years, the Board of Directors at MKT brought in John W. Barriger III, a railroad turnaround specialist credited with saving the Monon and doing wonders for P&LE, to whip the Katy into shape. One of Barriger's priorities was to update the freight car fleet. This batch of Greenville 86' boxcars delivered in 1969 was a direct result of that program. Like neighbors MoPac and Frisco, Katy was in a position to serve auto assembly plants in the Sun Belt and contributed cars to (likely Ford) pools.
