==Transportation== [[File:Downtown Moberly, MO.jpg|thumb|West Reed Street, facing East from the United States post office building.]] Moberly is served by The Omar Bradley Airport. Commercial service is available 33 miles to the south in [[Columbia, Missouri|Columbia]] at the [[Columbia Regional Airport]] or the MO-X (an airport shuttle to and from [[Lambert-St. Louis International Airport|STL]] and [[Kansas City International Airport|MCI]]), 60 miles to the south in [[Jefferson City, Missouri|Jefferson City]] via the [[Amtrak]] station, 45 miles to the north in [[La Plata, Missouri|La Plata]] via the [[Amtrak]] station, or 55 miles to the North in [[Kirksville, Missouri|Kirksville]] at the [[Kirksville Regional Airport]]. The city is served by [[U.S. Route 63 (Missouri)|U.S. Route 63]] to the east on a bypass. The old route is designated as both Business 63 and Morley Street and goes through town. [[U.S. Route 24 (Missouri)|U.S. Route 24]] goes through town as well. Route M (formerly [[Route 3 (Missouri)|Route 3]]) also skirts the edge of town. Other routes include Route DD (indirectly goes to Sugar Creek Lake), EE, A, and AA (past the prison). At one time there was a Business 24 that ran from Morley Street via West Coates Street to Johnson Street to Concannon Street turning North on Holman St to current U.S. 24. This route was de-numbered in the late 1960s. State Route 22 was also multiplexed with U.S. 63 to U.S. 24. When U.S. 63 was re-routed in the mid-1960s Highway 22 was truncated to its current end at U.S. 63 near Sturgeon, MO. The [[Norfolk Southern Railway]] serves Moberly running west toward [[Kansas City, Missouri]] and east toward [[Hannibal, Missouri]] and points on. Norfolk Southern also runs south between Moberly and [[St. Louis, Missouri]] (via Centralia and Mexico, MO) and points on. Moberly was once the northern terminus of the [[Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad]] that ran between Moberly and [[Boonville, Missouri]]. Much of this route is still somewhat visible in satellite images. Moberly is home to one of Norfolk Southern's many rail yards. Norfolk Southern used to have a line that ran north from Moberly to [[Albia, Iowa]], but it was abandoned in the spring of 1992. The line was reopened from 1993β1995 to help in recovery efforts after the great [[Flood of 1993]]. By 1997, the line was dismantled between Moberly and [[Moulton, Iowa]]. The [[Centerville, Iowa]]-owned [[Appanoose County Community Railroad]] currently operates the section from Moulton to [[Albia, Iowa]].
