I found this:

"In Kansas, where Bob Dole grew up, there used to be the little town of Exchange, a little dot on the map where Atchison-Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF) trains would trade mail sacks. When the ATSF later added an east-west line through the middle of town, it became known on the area maps of the time ....as N.exchange and S.exchange."
