Thank you Doug for some good leads.  I'll give them a try.
I'd noticed the reference on Rob's site, but looking for lists from the other 
roads wasn't something that had occurred to me.

  Duncan, Ted Schnepf of Rails Unlimited has reproduced several Railroad
  Shipper Guides, also known as Industry Guides. A look at his website will
  give you an idea an idea of what to look for and an idea of the various
  titles used. http://railsunlimited.ribbonrail.com/Books/shippers.html 

  I don't believe Ted has ever done a CB&Q directory. There are also various
  websites that have variations of railroad industry lists. I know the CB&Q
  published these valuable books. And Rob Adams references one for his website
  on the Keokuk and Western website
  http://keokukandwesternrr.com/facilities.htm 

  So keep looking. I have scans of several for the M&StL, and refer to them
  often. 

  You might also look for a Shippers Guide for the other railroads in Keokuk
  as the guide would indicate if reciprocal switching was in place and where.
