So pretty much everything has shifted to the former ATSF line versus the KC cutoff? I see the tracks west of Brookfield are  gone.  I'll make sure to take some time to do some train watching around Buclin.

Not much run's on the Brookfield (West Quincy-KC) line. About the only thing to see anymore is the target signals still in place along the CB&Q, and the old siding names are still up. The old Brookfield depot is still in place I believe, as well as a few rehabbed depots in various small towns. 

If you want to see trains, BNSF TransCon is the way to go. Hwy 36 crosses it between Bucklin (where the CB&Q passes under the old ATSF BNSF Transcon) and Marcelline, MO.  They are running some 100 trains a day at track speed.. Z trains at 70 MPH and Amtrak at 90 there.

I'm sure other's can give you more specifics as it's been 10 years since I've been up on the old CB&Q.

Happy hunting..
