Really have no idea what you are talking about the CB&Q/C&S/FWD
on "pool power". Did not exist. In almost all places a route
like that could not be sent that way. Rates were not set up that
way.
"Run-through"? I have no idea what that means.
On the other hand the CB&Q used, on the system, gray backs on
both the CB&Q and the FWD. This was from the late 40's until
the mid 50's.
For example:
01-15-52, West Eola IL, #68 with 751A
01-15-52, West Eola IL, #75 with 702D
01-15-52, West Eola IL, #62 with 702A
10-30-51, West Eola IL, #68 with 750
10-30-51, West Eola IL, #75 with 751
10-30-51, West Eola IL, #CD with 702
10-30-51, West Eola IL, #74 with 751
Right from the start gray backs were very seldom used on four
units in the same number series, just chance. Normally they
were set as two units, as "A-B" and "D-C". Many operators did
not use the letters, just the numbers on gray backs. I know that
was rather strange as they would always use letters on passenger
units, just not on freight.
