Jack,
The K Line moniker was detailed in Duncan's recent bulletin on Keokuk.
The St. Louis Keokuk and Northwestern was nicknamed the K Line and the
name stuck after the Q bought it. It refers to the line Burlington-West
Quincy-Hannibal-St. Louis.
The Kansas City cutoff which was built in the late 1940s/early 1950s was
from Needles MO (just west of Brookfield) to Maxwell MO where it
connected with the Wabash to run west into Kansas City

Hello all:
I am working on a little project for the BRHS web site and could use a
little help. What I am wanting is to learn more about these "named"
routes that I hear mentioned by authors to this site. For example the
"K" line.
Can some of you smart people supply me with a few of these most often
mentioned routes and what are the O/D pairs and the intermediate
junctions in the path -- without doing a whole lot of work? I am not
wanting to make a big deal of work for anyone. I can pretty well
guess what most of them are, but I just want to compile a list of
popular route names, and be able to correctly use these frequently
used route names with more then my best assumptions as to the path.
Thanks!
