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!
