River Route would extend Missouri Pacific to Boonville
Jefferson City officials and residents focus on a possible Missouri Pacific extension known as the River Route. The plan would run from Jefferson City along the Missouri River to Boonville, with right of way secured in Cole and Moniteau counties and options held on land ready for immediate grading. A completed line from Labadie to Kansas City with minimal grades could boost local real estate and commerce, making Jefferson City a potential divisional point and repair hub.
