Moberly, Mo.
Author: FiveChime

On the topo map it appears that Wabash, later N&W, and finally NS had a large facility there. Is it still in operation?

There is still a yard there and its a crew change point. Haven't been there in quite a while, but its the junction of the NS line from St. Louis and Decatur towards KC.

When I passed through there in about 1992, there was still a
yard there, but I don't recall much in the way of diesel
facilities or shops. The large old depot still stood, with a
museum inside.

There is not much of anything at Moberly anymore. Yes it is still a crew change point, and it has a small yard, but thats about it. They do a have a museum at the old depot complete with caboose. Was there in 1990 when N&W 1218 came in from Kansas City and in 1994. I'm not sure what the traffic levels are, perhaps if you go to the Eastern Board and get one of the NS "experts" on, they could tell you.
