Clinton Sub - the northern 11 miles?

[tferk]

I have greatly enjoyed studying the field notes for stations on the Clinton Sub that Karl provided, and also the blueprint scans from Bradley. Having grown up in south KC and then Harrisonville, the locations are very familiar.

One thing that I and several others are struggling to find is track and industry information for the northern 11 miles of the Clinton Sub, from Sheffield Jct south to Alexander. This section includes Centropolis and Leeds, MO.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

I found a track diagram and industry list for Sheffield, Coberg and Centropolis. I think this was taken from a junction diagram book but unfortunately I have no date for the diagram. The Ford plant was still in business on the east side of KC and had not yet been moved out to Claycomo. Maybe this will help someone be able to date the drawings.

Very nice, Dale; I don't ever remember seeing anything with that much detail about Coburg Yard. That drawing might date to the late teens or the twenties.

I have B&B "sketches" of several of the Coburg structures and I'll post them as I work my way north.
