  Glen,

I have found more about the staff system. I found a reference to a Rock 
Island operating manual. It states the electric train staff system was 
in effect on the Leavenworth Terminal railroad between Leavenworth and 
Stillings Junction, and on the Rock Island railroad between Stillings 
Jct and Beverly. The Rock Island abandoned their operations between 
Leavenworth and Cameron, Missouri, in May 1940. The Leavenworth Terminal 
was controlled by the CGW according to the ICC valuation report. The 
users were the CGW, the Rock Island and the CB&Q. One source says the 
Leavenworth Terminal was dissolved in 1940 which corresponds with the RI 
abandonment.
