[CBQ] K Line steam excursions

["William Hirt" <whirt@fastmail.com>]

I had friend works as a BNSF engineer ask me about K Line steam 
excursions between 1962 and 1966. He is working with someone who said he 
rode one of the excursions as a boy during that time from Hannibal to 
Louisiana, MO. I found one excursion in August 1962 in the CB&Q 
Facilities Book Volume 2 with several pictures taken south of Old 
Monroe. The excursion originated in St. Louis, but it did not say how 
far it went.
I have two St. Louis Post-Dispatch prints of the last Burlington steam 
excursion leaving St. Louis Union Station February 12, 1966 for 
Hannibal. Since the steam program was discontinued shortly afterward, I 
would assume this was the last excursion on the K Line.
Both excursions were with 4960. Are there any more during that period I 
can pass on?
