Duncan,
According to an article from a local newspaper, #9849 was on trains 109 and 110 on the last day of service as the doodlebug came thru Mendon, IL.
Unfortunately, I don't have a date on the photocopy of the article, but a little searching of other info on the photocopy dates this to 1957, probably Sat Jan 5 or 12, I believe.

Thanks Ken! As you might guess, I'm focused
on the Iowa side and was simply trying to determine whether it was conceivable
that a motorcar stood in for the MTZ/#43 on occasion.
By my layout date, though, #43 was off the
schedule, so the question was academic.
I'll be fudging reality to have trains #1 and 44
still come through Keokuk!

Duncen,
Dorin's "Everywhere West The Burlington Route" p32 has a picture of train
#110 using 9816 headed for Quincy via Carthage in 1952.
9815 - 9818 were imported in brass some years ago.

Thanks Dave and John. It would be the Burlington to Quincy
train I was thinking of. I'd seen a picture of a motorcar in
Burlington that was presented as train #43 (which could have been, but
certainly wasn't typical). I then thought that maybe the Illinois-side
train had the same number, being in another division. So I'm left
assuming that, at least on one occasion #9849, was used on train
#43.
Thanks again.
