The Gateway Wstrn was a joke and had an unofficial nickname as the weebly wobbly. Cargill flour milling in Newton, KS shipped bulk flr to STL that was routed via GWWR from KC to STL. The normal transit time east of KC was one wk! Again this was back in the 1990's but as a former rail shipper who did business with them, they stunk! I'm sure KCS is having better luck moving their traffic, so I hope.
