Glen,
Employee Timetable 50 St Joseph Division effective January 9, 1938 for
the Leavenworth and East Leavenworth Sub-division:
"Yard limits extend East Leavenworth to Stillings Jct
Staff system between Stillings Junction and Tower at Missouri Pacific
crossing at Leavenworth
The eastbound home semaphore signal at Stillings Junction governs as
follows:
Top Arm, CB&Q
Middle Arm, C.R.I.&P. main track
Lower Arm, C.R.I.&P. siding"
Most people forget that the CGW used the Rock Island into Leavenworth
until the Rock Island abandoned and the CGW took over the portion they
needed. The CGW/Rock Island crossed the St Joe/KC mainline at Beverly.
Now I have St Joe Division timetable #56 effective February 2, 1941. It
is now listed as Leavenworth and East Leavenworth spur track. The only
instructions for the spur are:
"Spur track, 3.70 miles in length, extends between East Leavenworth and
Leavenworth. Rule 908 in effect between East Leavenworth and Stillings
Junction, 1.70 miles north of Leavenworth. Trains and engines between
Stillings Junction and Leavenworth are governed by rules and time table
of C.G.W.R.R."
I have a friend who is a big CGW fan and I'll see if he has employee
timetable for that time to see what it says.
But I think it is as you suspected, it was removed when the RI pulled
out and the Q pulled off their transfer trains.
