Hi everyone Can anyone tell me what the deal is (and was) with trains crossing the US-Canadian border? What sort of regulations were there about locomotives, freight, crews, etc when crossing from one country to another? Was every single train stopped to have its paperwork checked or its cargo examined by customs for example? Could a Canadian train or Canadian railroad haul domestic US freight or was that off limits? And vice versa for US railroads? Could Canadian crews operate on US tracks and such? What sort of things did the railroads do in relation to it that wasnt strictly a rule? My main interest is how it worked during the late 70's and into the 80's. Thanks for all the help.
