Thought Bill Schultz might know, but he only has the suggestion below.

Hol --

The chump is stumped.  I don't know, but an educated guess is ATSF Kansas City-Bucklin, Mo.-Q-Chicago, affording the most direct route resulting in the least amount of detour mileage.  The Santa Fe employed the opposite route (ATSF Chicago-Bucklin; Q Bucklin-Kansas City) during 1951's three Kaw River floods in Kansas City/Argentine.

If anyone knows, it's probably you.

Hi all,

 

I received this email from John Wegner 3 weeks ago and have not been able to answer it.  If anyone on the list has any ideas, I'm sure he would like to hear from you.  When responding, do so to the CBQ group and to him at 47builder@gmail.com.

Dave

Hi Dave,

The book "Kansas Curve" by Robert P. Olmsted has a photo of the eastbound California Zephyr at Lawrence, Kansas while detouring on the Union Pacific during the Iowa/Nebraska flooding of April 1952.  I was wondering what route it took east of Kansas City.  The existing CB&Q KC-Chicago mainline, which at that time would have taken it thru Liberty and Cameron, MO?  Does anyone have any info on this re-route, which supposedly lasted about a week in 1952.  My N scale club meets in a building in Liberty next to what's left of the former Burlington mainline.
