I have been wondering lately what railroad made Dupo yard, was it MoPac or the Mike and Ike?
Thank you,

The hump yard at Dupo was built by the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern which merged with the Mopac Railway in 1917 to become the Missouri Pacific RR. They (Iron Mountain) bought the only mallet (numbered 4000) on the railroad to be used as a hump engine there. The M-I tracks only ran from Kellogg (where the car ferry incline was) to Salem in Illinois.

Okay, I was wondering because if you look at google maps the M&I had to cross to over to the “second” track to get to Flinton.
