As you continue to put together your rosters just some notes on Mopac subsidiaries. There was never a Missouri & Illinois owned by the MP although most people pronounce it like that and I’ve seen it written that way in many captions etc. The railroad was the Missouri-Illinois RR. You also asked about the Gulf Coast Lines. This was an overall name for several roads; the equipment was either NOT&M or StLB&M owned and stenciled as such. Gulf Coast Lines would be seen spelled out on a pre-1924 lettered freight car but the actual reporting marks would be the two I noted. Good luck with your research.
