This is helpful for time after 1959 when the line was CTC'd from St. Joe to 
Napier.  I took all my info from ETT No. 66  Sept 24th 1950.

        Pete,
    
    These may help with your explanation of the signaling.

                  Bob...Now you've called        me on it...I'll have to 
produce...To the best of my memory        here's how it went.        

        
        
Coming in from a general  NE to SW direction CGW crossed           St Joe 
Avenue. just south of where the old Goetz Brewery was          
located...Continued in that general direction meeting the          CB&Q running 
almost due N-S about 4th and FRancis St..           The Q was double track 
there with strictly directional          running.  There was a connection 
switch to the Q Northbound          main and directly south of that was a 
crossover from NB to SB          tracks...According to special instructions in 
the TT these          swiiches were controlled by the dispatcher.  
        

        
        
Southward CGW trains moved against current of tranffic on          the NB Q 
track around the north and east side of St. Joe US          to, what was known 
as the Middle Yard connection...They then          moved down the east side of 
the middle yard to another          connection connection onto what was then 
the Hannibal Division          main track for a short distance eastward to a 
connection to          the ATSF..Henrietta, MO-St. Joe branch ...over this line 
for 5          or so miles to Bee Creek (BC) Junction connection to CGW's own   
       track...
        

        
        
Then it was over the CGW crossing the Q at Beverly...then          across the 
river to Leavenworth, KS and onto the MOP into KC          MO.
        

        
        
CGW is the only railroad I can think of who had more          convoluted 
routings than the the RI.
        

        
        
I'll take questions if anyone has any...If I know the          answer I'll tell 
you...If I don't I'll  make one up.

I'm sure I am not the only one who would be                          interested.

                                                  I have a friend that

                 ran on the old CGW                                             
     line through St Joe.                                                  He 
said it was always                                                  a challenge 
to get                                                  through there.
