Doug, thanks for the clarification.
My interest is definitely pre-1980.
Your info makes what I know about Keokuk clearer.
I'll see what I can find in terms of a Shippers Guide.

  Duncan, era will have an impact on your question. If you are asking about
  pre 1980, ie pre Staggers Act, there were tariffs that dictated rates
  charged/paid, these were fixed regardless of which road hauled the load, so
  no savings if the shipper selected one railroad over another. And the
  shipper dictated routing, ie which railroad hauled the load. Some shippers
  listen to their railroad agent, ie the one who switched the business, who
  always promoted his road for the long haul. Sometimes the destination
  dictated who got the long haul. And sometimes the shipper had a preference.
  A reciprocal agreement might have nothing to do with which railroad hauled
  the load out of town

  A Railroad Shippers Guide or industry list will tell you if there was
  reciprocal switching. Bill Hirt probably has one, if no one else does. If no
  reciprocal switching and on a Q line, the Q would get the line haul for
  switching the plant and starting the load moving, even if only a mile to
  another yard.

  Of course this all changed with the Staggers Act of 1980. How things are
  done today is quite different.
