Hi,

With the St. Louis & Cairo in the middle of the Grand Narrow Gauge Trunk being the weak link, I read about the use of SG cars between the Cotton Belt and St. Louis that had 3' rails on them so NG equipment (loaded or empty) could bypass the St. Louis & Cairo. I think it was a predecssor to Mo Pac.
