Re: [CBQ] FW&D and CS?

That was the reason for the FWD being separate for so long.  CS owned FWD and CBQ owned CS.  After Texas regulation changed, they all merged into the BN.

 

I'm not sure about the engines.  I do know that one of the most well-known engines was "Silver Pilot" a stainless-steel E6 that belonged to FWD at one time, also CS for a time.

Subject: [CBQ] FW&D and CS?

 

Were these just two shell companies in existance due to local state regulation. I know Texas once had a law that all railroads running in the state had to have headquarters in their state. Were they all run on a daily basis as one company for the guys with boots on the ground? Or were they run as three closely related but seperate companies. I have read where some engines were not equipped as well for them as compared to the Q.

Thank you,
