Keith, thank you, thank you, thank you! This is gold. I have never seen any Clinton Sub track schematics this old or showing anything between East Lynne and Springfield. These combined with drawings from Karl's dad make for some great research and modeling information. Any idea on the date for these schematics?
They are pre mid 60's...... .....The portion of the line between Leeds (north of Alexander) and Dodson has not been removed ( in favor of trackage rights over MoPac)...... .....Frisco has not yet taken over switching the industries on the southwest side of the Mop at Dodson, those formerly being served by the KCPS freight operation.
Thanks Ted. I didn't need an exact date and that narrows it down enough for me. I should have used my noggin for more than a hat rack as my old math teacher use to say. With a little deductive reasoning I now see in Harrisonville the Frisco had taken over switching on ex-MKT trackage so that put it somewhere on this side of 1958. This is great information to have, yet I will still use some modelers license with the industries on my Clinton Sub layout.
Thanks, Keith - between this and the other stuff that's appeared, I have a very good reason not to work in the yard this weekend when it drops back to seasonable temperatures. Dale good to see your name/avatar around - hope things are going well. Best Regards,
I am not the one to thank. I'm just the facilitator; Mark Davidson (mark) dug out his files and the two of us had a scanning part the other night. He hopes that his example will convince other people to share similarly.
Very good information. Thanks! And to add o the previous posts, Karl has indicated in other threads the BV to Dodson retirement happened in 1967: http://www.frisco.org/shipit/index.php?threads/clinton-sub-retirement-bv-jct-dodson.1441
And I looked up the Kansas City Public Service freight operation.....they embargoed the line after the wreck/accident in July 1968.
