Mitch,
The attached Excel spreadsheet is a breakdown of some of the
Great Northern interchange at the Twin Cities to the CB&Q in
1968 based on available GN wheel reports. The tabs have the
various gateways the Q interchanged traffic with. By 1968, the MP
was in control of the C&EI, so I would suspect there was a big
effort to get any Chicago bound traffic routed via C&EI from
St. Louis.
There are a few cars via KC for the MKT and MP.

Hello all,
I’m doing some research on interchanges between the MoPac and
other St. Louis-area railroads. I’m curious as to what level of
interchange traffic (if any) may have been handed off between the
Q and the MoPac (or other southwest bound RRs-the Katy, Frisco,
Cotton Belt, etc) at St. Louis to/from the Twin Cities area. The
Zephyr Rocket went via the Hannibal division and then took Rock
Island tracks to St. Paul so I’m sure some freight went that route
as well, but how much stayed on-line to go northward on the Q? Was
this an exchange of any significance? Did the CB&Q have any
other exchanges with the MoPac? Appreciate any and all info, thank
you!
-Mitch
