Yes, that is my understanding, too. The mile markers reflect the railroad mileage.
The St. Chuck arena, the little jag in Rhineland, the diversion off the old roadbed to bypass the Katy Railroad Bridge in Boonville and the route through downtown Sedalia are the four areas where I would guess the actual mileage and the signposts don't synch.
