The Union Pacific Railroad never used C&NW Terminal in Chicago during the
40's. The trains were C&NW. UP ran to Omaha, C&NW picked up their trains to
Chicago.
Unlike the CB&Q- D&RGW-WP California Zephyr joint operation, UP & C&NW
locomotives ran through the entire route except for the San Francisco
operation where locomotives were changed at Ogden Utah for SP power. Because
of the UP-C&NW run throughs, UP locomotives made an appearance in Chicago.
Their was also UP logo on the big sign at C&NW Terminal.
It may also be noted that in the early years, Diesels had both C&NW and UP
heralds. Diesels in San Francisco had C&NW, UP & SP heralds.
