 Interview with Michael Haverty, Kansas City Southern Railway: TWST
While other railroads were building to the West Coast, he decided to build a railroad from Kansas City down to the Gulf Coast to handle primarily agricultural products to the Gulf for further movement for export.
Then in 1982, Kansas City Southern purchased Janus Capital, which today is one of the most highly successful mutual fund families in the country.
The railroad, which was a regional railroad running primarily from Kansas City to the Gulf, as it did for 100 years, has now invested in and expanded to Mexico, so we now have a railroad system that runs from Kansas City to Mexico City, and from Meridian, Mississippi to Dallas, Texas.
