  1. I wonder what the RI had against Lawrence, KS? The notes say that not only could you not buy a ticket from there to anywhere west of Colorado, but you couldn’t make a stopover there (out of all of RI’s other stations). Was it because of some trackage arrangement they had with the Santa Fe or UP? I looked at a historical map of Lawrence on http://www.historicaerials.com, & it doesn’t look like RI had a direct route from Kansas City.
