WACO, Texas (KXXV) — A former railway is now a community pathway. The M-K-T Trail in East Waco will open with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, March 6.

The rail-to-trail project converted 1.2 miles of historic railway from Sherman Street to Gholson Road into a lighted, 12-foot-wide concrete pedestrian path. The mixed-use trail follows a section of the decommissioned Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad, creating a vital connection between neighborhoods and the existing Brazos River trail system.

The ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. at the trailhead of Garrison Street and Faulkner Lane.
