I worked out of Decatur in 1966 and made several trips to Moberly. All 211 miles of this line through Hannibal was single track; much of it was handled by a bastardized form of Centralized Traffic Control where the dispatcher controlled the signals including entering and leaving sidings, but the switches were hand-operated. It was called Manual Block Remote Control. As I recall, it extended from Mosser interlocking at the west end of Decatur to Springfield, and from Hannibal to Moberly. Between Springfield and Hannibal was automatic block signal territory, with train orders. There hadn't been passenger trains across there for some years.
