Re: [CBQ] Forget "Everywhere West"... How About "Everywhere North"?

["William Hirt" <whirt@fastmail.com>]

Canada Southern ran across southern Ontario between Detroit and Buffalo. It was originally leased to the Michigan Central and then subleased in 1929 to the New York Central (which controlled the Michigan Central). It was then conveyed to the Penn Central in the merger. It was sold to CN/CP in 1985.

After PC merger, I've read a lot of Burlington power wandered about the PC as PC was short on working power due to it's financial state. This supposedly stopped after someone discovered PC using a Q U25 on a PC work train in Indiana.
