How about the old MP line accross kansas, specifically the part from Herington to Ossawatomie.  The UP could use this route as a KC bypass for southbound coal trains, taking some of the pressure off KC.  trains would turn southwest @ Topeka onto the Golden State route, then turn east @ Herington towards Osawatomie and reconnect with the Coffeyville sub.  When torn up this line had 133 pound welded rail, ABS and was in good shape.  Another possibility the old Rock route from topeka through St. Joseph, MO and towards chicago..would have been a great way to avoid KC for Chicago bound stack trains from the southwest.
