Daniel,
Those shots are of this line. The Council Grove subdivision started in Osawatomie which was milepost 334.4, crossed the ATSF mainline near Ottawa at milepost 354.4, Council Grove was milepost 425.6 and Herington was milepost 451.0. The Council Grove subdivsion ended at Hoisington (558.8) and the Hoisington subdivsion ran to Pueblo (897.1). Here is a view of Council Grove.

The former Missouri Pacific yard is across that road to the right of the sewage ponds.
What is it about the line you want to know ?
