Just finished an article from a 1931 Railway Age on Q warehouse for
bananas. Q was handling 350 carloads per month into and thru Minneapolis !
It's
staggering the business that's moved to other modes over the decades.
Does anyone know how these would have been routed? IC(Centralia)Q, IC(East
Dubuque)Q, IC(Mendota)Q ?
This is back in the time when each road was trying to maximize earnings by
miles so my guess would be East Dubuque but.........
Rip Repetto used to tell the story of the banana mtys on the p/u out of
Savanna coming from East Dubuque which totally confuses me. Why would the IC
give the Q an mty IC car at East Dubuque ?
Related question what about cars of bananas for Aurora. What routing
IC(Mendota,Centralia or CHGO) Q ?
