>From what I've read, PRR power didn't until the PC
merger. The Savanna-TC line had an NYC and then PC
power pool until around 68 or 69, and then because of
PC going down hill, the Q terminated that agreement
and started operations with the Erie Lackawanna
through to the TC instead. It was talked about in one
of the Q Color Guide books, but the book is currently
at my mom's so I'm going from memory and could be
wrong. I seem to remember the book saying that the Q
had runthrough agreements with NYC and then EL to the
Twin Cities, PRR to someplace west via Galesburg (?)
and the DRGW (I wanna say that was run into Kansas
City, but I'm not sure on this as it has been a couple
of months since I read that). I don't remember if the
book mentioned the Grand Island UP runthroughs
though...
Like I said, its from memory, so someone with the Q
Color Guide Vol 2 that they can easily get to should
look it up.
