Duncan,
A 1962 track chart shows it is just a siding within the West
Quincy yard limits.
The oldest Hannibal Division Employee Timetable I
have is ETT #77 effective April 28, 1940. It shows Lowrie with no office, but
with a 80 car siding and 52 car capacity on other tracks. By ETT #89 effective
September 28, 1947, it had a 74 car siding and 46 car capacity on other
tracks.
With ETT #90 effective July 11, 1948, Lowrie just had a 45 car
siding.
With ETT #2 effective April 29, 1962, Lowrie is no longer
shown.
None of the employee timetables showed at office there. I have a
1929 Bullinger's Shipping Guide and there is no listing of Lowrie as a
station.

Hi all!
Can anyone tell me anything about Lowrie
Missouri? It's listed on K-line timetables just north of West Quincy
and south of LaGrange.
It doesn't seem to have had an office and may
have been nothing more than a siding. I can't even find reference to a
community of that name.
