Thanks for the info everyone.
Also, if anyone is interested I recently found a photo of Missouri Southern engine No. 1 ELLINGTON a 2-6-0, in George Abdill's RAILS WEST on page 98.
a great source for tracking the path of the Mo Southern is the midwest gazetteer. http://gazetteer.midwestplaces.com/mo/reynolds/
nearly all, if not all, of the Mo Southern ran in Reynolds county. This site lists towns, both current and abadoned, within that county. As you review the list you will notice that some towns have notations such as "station on the Missouri Southern Line". The description also gives detailed locations of former towns. A year ago I drove the line as much as possible from Leeper to Bunker and at one low water crossing even found some twisted narrow gauge rail.
