The Columbia station, also known as Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railroad Depot or Katy Station, was built in 1909 by the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad in downtown Columbia, Missouri. The station was one of two train stations serving Columbia in the 20th century, the other being the Wabash Railroad Station and Freight House constructed the same year.[2][3] The building is the terminus of the MKT Trail, a rails-to-trails project that was built on the former spur of the railroad. Having housed a popular local restaurant named "Katy Station" after the building, it now houses a bar name "Shiloh's."[4]
