Wondering if anyone can confirm that prior to the BN merger there was a
division of traffic agreement on eastbound business coming into the Twin Cities
from GN/NP ?
Supposedly all roads operating between Twin Cities and Chicago shared in the
business and once the BN was created the business went all BN.
I'm asking because I'm working on a future project and would like to work it
into the piece if it can be confirmed. Any written source you can point me to
would be appreciated.
Where did I hear about it ? In locomotive cabs and waycars traveling over the
C&I in the 70s whenever the subject of "where did all this business come from"
would come up.
The one explanation I recall most clearly came from an engineer who had been a
management employment and had returned to the ranks. I also vaguely recall
reading about it somewhere.
As background the C &I pool(Cicero-Savanna,IL) went from 8 crews in 1968/69 to
over 18 crews by the mid 70s and to over 24 crews by late 70s. Yes, some of it
was new economic growth and coal.
