Bill:
Regarding the line into Leavenworth, I found signal information indicating that
US&S electric train staff (a form of controlled manual block) was installed
between Stillings Jct. and Leavenworth, by MoPac (I think), in about 1911 or
1913. Do you happen to know when it was removed? Could it have been when the
transfer trains stopped running?

It's curious that East Leavenworth, Missouri, is on the list. The
reason I say this is that on the St Joe Division Employee Timetable of
1938 virtually all mainline passenger trains stopped there (including
the Pioneer Zephyr). Also there were six transfer trains per day each
direction between Leavenworth, Kansas, and East Leavenworth to shuttle
passengers to and from the mainline trains. By 1940, only one passenger
train a day was stopping at East Leavenworth and the shuttle trains were
gone. A Burlington Trailways bus was handling the connection between
Leavenworth and East Leavenworth to Beverly, Missouri. Beverly, just
north of East Leavenworth, now had the passenger stops. By the 1950's,
no passenger trains were stopping at East Leavenworth.
