Rail trackage swap eyed to speed Santa Fe Missouri Pacific service
Kansas City plans a trackage rights exchange under General Manager H A Mudge of the Santa Fe and Vice President Harding of the Missouri Pacific. The deal would shift passenger Santa Fe trains east through Missouri Pacific tracks and inbound trains from the east onto Santa Fe tracks, saving 30 to 45 minutes. The Missouri Pacific gains use of Santa Fe tracks from Centropolis to Wayne City for freight, linking with a new line to Lake City, Boonville, and Jefferson City, avoiding the Independence grade.
