I believe the line on the west side of the Missouri River was
abandoned prior to the Depression. According to Overton, that was
originally the Atchison and Nebraska Railroad that was formally
absorbed into the CB&Q in 1908 . Overton reads like it was
built to harass and interfere with Jay Gould's plans to extend the
MP to Omaha.
I am looking at the April-May 1936 Passenger timetable and it
only shows the stub from the Missouri side to Atchison.
Here is a photo of Atchison Union Depot (served the Q, ATSF, MP
and RI):
It looks similar to the Union Depot in St. Joseph.
At the time of Pioneer Zephyr, the Q ran connecting Motor Car
service from Atchison to Armour to meet all KC-St. Joe passenger
trains. So it's possible it was at Atchison for some type of
publicity tour/photo.
