Cade,

If you search on Facebook for the “Missouri Pacific” group, Paul De Luca posted a picture of a train on that line switching at a grain elevator. He mentioned that he worked that line many times and I noticed a few other gentleman posted they also worked that line and they may be willing to answer your questions. If possible, can you post on this group any information that you receive so we all can learn about the line?

Attached is his photo and also a link to the Facebook conversation. I also attached the circa 1931 diagram of the line. The circa 1931 diagrams have the line to Fort Scott, but I didn’t include it in the attachments.

From the 1980 gross ton movement map the line shipped 410,000 tons south and 370,000 tons north.
