    I live in Higginsville, MO and I would like to exchange information with anyone having data(modeling, etc.) on the MP Branch from Lexington to Sedalia (and any plans of the MP yard in Sedalia and the interchange for the Warsaw Branch). I would like to do an article on the branch(Lexington to Sedalia)for “The Eagle.” I’m also looking for any back issues of “The Eagle” covering the Warsaw Branch (I have the paper back book on the Branch).

    Thanks,

    Joel
