I just found a file dated 1944 where the MP conducted a study comparing the 2200 4-8-4’s to the FT diesels. The study was between Dupo and Texarkana. There’s other documents comparing the Northerns to ATSF 4-6-4 and a proposed MP 4-6-4. Also a letter where the MP and ATSF were corresponding on a joint 4-8-4 design.

I’ve got a few other Missouri Pacific Historical Society projects going and would be happy to scan this file for someone interested in writing an Eagle article on this material.
