Wow
Cool to see that there was a line graded from Arlington to St.Robt by never built (note 11)...I wonder how hard that would be to find today...
Is that the same Ft.Wood line??...It does run through St Robt...

It was installed in 1944 between Dillon and Swedeborg to allow removal of four passing sidings and to speed up the helper operations on Dixon Hill. A full article reprinted from Railway Age, with permission, appeared in FMIG LINES 104, which will be posted tomorrow sometime. I'll try to attach two drawings I redid from the Railway Age feature. It shows all the signals and passing sidings plus the two wyes from back then. Doug

I'd like copies, preferable from the late 1960's.

Anyone have them?

could you tell me what frisco trains ran through leslie,mo? leslie is a little town so maybe beaufort or gerald might be a better choice to give you a idea of the area i am asking about. i remember seeing a frisco train run through there when i was a kid in the late 70 and 80's. i am new to this and not really sure if you can help. i would like to model that area so any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. thanks gary

Leslie isn't on the Frisco (now BNSF) line, It's well to the North. It might have been on the Rock Island or Missouri Pacific. If a Frisco train went through there it must have been a re-routing because of a flood, derailment or such. The closest town on the Frisco to Leslie would probably have been Sullivan.

Yes, Leslie, along with Beaufort and Gerald, were on the former Rock Island St Louis - Kansas City line. That's the area in mid-Missouri, west of Union, where my grandfather had his farm. The CRIP ran right through the middle of it, as did US50.

I had always assumed that the Gasconade River bridge collapse, November 1, 1855 killing 43, as referenced in Craig Miner's book on the 35th Parallel Project, was on the SW Branch of the Pacific RR. I never really put dates together but when looking at the construction timeline below, the bridge over the Gasconade would not have been built on what became the SLSF until 1868. It would only make sense then that the Gasconade bridge disaster was on the Pacific RR or Missouri Pacific. Does anyone have any more information on this? Thanks, Jeff Cooney, Lindsay, TX

[Bradley A. Scott]

Yes, the Gasconade Bridge disaster was on what later became the Missouri Pacific. Here are a couple of online versions of contemporary news articles, complete with thoroughly purple period prose. The first specifically describes the ill-fated excursion train as travelling from St. Louis to Jefferson City.

Miner's book (which I don't have at hand at the moment) probably provides the most complete description of the business relationship between the Pacific RR (later MP) and the Southwest Branch (later SLSF).

Thanks Bradley. Very interesting period articles. Also thanks for the TT's you sent. I am still going over them. They are a wealth of information. Jeff
