They actually didn't have to take Beeks out of the picture at all. Louis, being the expert in commodities that he was, might have known what the form of the crop report looked like and could have substituted 1 of 2 variations after making the initial switch. That way, Beeks could have simply delivered the wrong report and much of the train scene could have been eliminated, giving us more time with Louis and Billy Ray.
