Re: [CBQ] CGI Operations

["Rick Keil" <rkeil6721@hotmail.com>]

Bill,

Thanks. Browsing thru photos it does show some TOFC. I did not realize auto parts would be moved over the Q. I probably need some additional UP cars but I think I am doing ok with the other connections except for B&O.

Rick,

The Operating Data sheets that was issued from the archives has this
information.

This is just prior to the BN merger when CGI was given Train number 65
in BN renumbering.

As of June 1, 1969, the feeding connections in Chicago were:

NYQ - New York Central

PR3 - PRR

B&O Chicagoan

N&W DC -11

EL NY-99

EL CX-99

Other connections and industries

Priorities:

1. Forwarder merchandise from local houses and connections to West
Coast, and intermediate points - Grand Island UP

2. Auto parts and TOFC - West Coast

3. Grand Island UP - Other

4. Lincoln
