General Discussion / Chicago & Pacific/MILW/CP Rail Bloomingdale Line

« on: January 04, 2005, 02:57:06 PM »

Hello, just sort of stumbled across this forum doing a web search, I can shed a few details about the CP\'s use of the Bloomingdale line. The line is red flagged about 500 feet east of tower A5. Gives the switch crew room to spot rock cars for Metra and switch out the cars for Newlyweds up on the C&M.  Operations on the Island are down to 2 days a week, Tuesdays & Thurdays and start out of the UP\'s ( ex CN&W ) North Ave. Yard.  The crew is cabbed down out of Bensenville.
Hope this helps.
