Welcome aboard, Russell. Springfield is an interesting place, railroad wise. The Missouri Pacific had some important customers in the area even though it was hugely Frisco territory. The line from Springfield to Crane was originally built as the Springfield Southwestern. My understanding is that it was built in order to give shippers and travelers an alternative to the Frisco.

Thanks, Kevin. Unfortunately, there’s not much left of both the MoPac and the Frisco here.
