Jim,

KC to St Louis symbols for manifest trains would have been KCAS, KCASY and KCCH. If memory servers, KCAS and KCCH originated at Fairfax and carried auto part cars. The KCASx trains terminated at the Alton & Southern yard in E St Louis. KCCH terminated Belt Rwy Chicago.

KC to N. Little Rock I’m murky on, however found references to symbol KCNL that originated at 18th Street.

Intermodal symbols were the KCSLT to Sarpy Ave (St Louis) and Lesperance Street, and the KNZ to N. Little Rock and then on to Avondale.

Trains UMS (North Platte – Sheffield) and SMU went via Carthage sub, you could have run through UP and Southern power.

Symbols changed over time, I would use KCASY and KCNL for your two trains.
