12/28/06-Business Strong on the C&E Line
« on: December 29, 2006, 05:34:12 PM »
Good news, business seems strong on the CP Rail C&E Line, soon to be spun off to shortline operator Chicago Terminal.  Yesterday I came up with the following tally:  Big Bay Lumber on Goose Island, two bulkhead flatcars; Peerless Confectionary, one each of a pressurized hopper and tank car, and Finkl Steel had four gondolas.  I wasn\'t able to look inside the fenced off General Iron Industries site for a count but the train crew was busy shuttling cars back and forth.  There were no cars at Sipi Metals however.

I was at Peerless on 12/28 and was not alone. There were three other railfans, (including a car full of Chicago\'s finest) watching the CP crew drop off their last cars. Funny thing, Peerless wasn\'t even open.
