I filmed an eastbound SP coal train at Spaulding before the trackage rights deal.
It was pulled by four DRGW tunnel motors.

While I don't know for sure when SP/UP started running over the CB&Q/BN to Chicago, I do know that SP handed a lot of traffic to the Soo Line at Kansas City in the late 80s, which was hauled to Chicago on the ex-MILW Kansas City line. I saw a LOT of trains at Davis Jct. as a result. SP tried to buy that line from Soo/CP in 1990 but the deal fell through, and I'd guess that is when SP started running to Chicago over the BN's Mendota Sub. The CB&Q line was shorter (by about 60 or so miles) than the Milwaukee line, so that was no doubt an added bonus for SP.

FWIW, the ex-MILW KC line was later sold to I&M Rail Link, which became Iowa, Chicago & Eastern and is now owned by CP again (for now, until EHH decides to sell that too...)
