Once in a while a file would show up in the MPRR archives in the basement of the General Offices and the guys working there would save it for me.  This file contained an LCL study that was conducted from April 9th to 18th, 1960.  Agents in Kansas were requested to telegraph into St. Louis the railcar, origin station, destination station, the lading weight, date shipped, inbound freight or outbound freight.  I spend many a lunch hour transcribing the information into an Excel spreadsheet.  Am sure other agents from other states were also requested to provide this information but it wasn't with the Kansas file.  The only information I added was the column on the right giving some additional information on the type of railcar used.    

MP 121711 shown above is in this listing being used between Kansas City and Topeka on April 10, 1960.
