[CBQ] Commuter operations

[qutlx1@aol.com]

Scott,
 
Here's my speculation as to the later adoption of HEP and push pull by the  
Q.
 
By the time of development of these technologies the Q had concentrated all 
 commuter operations at Aurora where facilities were readily available for  
turning equipment. The reverse move at CUS to 14th St was relatively short  
compared to going to Western Ave on other roads so less time savings.  With 
 only one terminal and one line this most likely made the cost/benefit  
analysis for the upgrade to these technologies less beneficial than on other  
roads with multiple lines and terminals where costs savings would be  greater.
 
Leo Phillipp.
