    Hi Guys,

    Can anyone tell me if the Frisco and GM&O interchanged with each other in Missouri?

    If so where and how, etc.?

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Matt,

    Immediately offhand, I would have to say that Saint Louis, via TRRA, would have been the only location.

    I'll have to double-check my 1943 Official Register and confirm.

    Best Regards,

    I'll bet that they also interchanged at Kansas City.

    Ken, excellent catch!

    The 1943 ORER does note that the SL-SF interchanged at Kansas City, MO with the Alton.

    I was thinking the Alton-GM&O merger occurred sometime before the end of the war.

    Outside of Missouri, the SL-SF had freight connections/junction points with the GM&O at:
    -Aberdeen, MS
    -Birmingham, AL
    -Columbus, MS (via Central of Georgia)
    -Memphis, TN
    -New Albany, MS
    -Tupelo, MS

    Best Regards,
