Well, I can at least answer part of this ....
1) Welded Rail
2} dunno for sure ... probably either Brookfield or Hannibal.
3) dunno about operator, but the last time I was at Brookfield there was
still an assortment of unique/old MW cars. The roundhouse on the west end of
the yards appears to have been torn down for some time, although some of the
tracks are still in place.
4) movements are sporadic at best ... usually manifest freight
