Most of the branch lines were in Ag support with feed, coal, fertilizer, lumber, and implements inbound with Soybeans and corn the outbound loading. I have an article in the works using the Form 22 from a small town in Illinois off the Hannibal Div. Most of the branch lines had only one train a day or bi or tri weekly service with most fixed up as round-trips or as work trains ie. Ottumwa Div.
