There is little evidence of GN equipment showing up on Q trains out of
the Twin Cities prior to the merger that I have found, except for a
pool arrangement between 1959 and 1963 on one train. The pictures I
have found show mostly GN FT's with one or two F3's showing up
occasionally. Most pool power between Chicago and Twin Cities was NYC,
later a mix of PC, NYC, and PRR (there are even some pictures of pure
NYC lashups on Q freights headed to the Twin Cities).
Thanks for your detailed answer. Will look forward to looking at the
files you mention. Interesting the Q had a pool arrangement w/GN,
involving 1st generation diesels, that then apparently ended.
Was aware of the Elkhart-St. Paul pool w/NYC. I wonder if PRR power ever
made it up that way? (before the PC merger). To look at it from the other
end,
Q power was regularly on the PRR, I would say on a daily basis, east from
Chicago
starting in '66 or '67. But this was a UP/Q/PRR pool, so it may be that PRR
power
really never went to the Twin Cities.
Best, Fred R.
