I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
QUOTE: Originally posted by M.W. Hemphill Peoria! The Santa Fe only reached Peoria after they merged with the TP&W. But that wasn't until 1983 (they sold it in 1989), so the Santa Fe never interchanged with the CB&Q at Peoria, because in 1970, CB&Q merged into BN. Anyway, Peoria was never but a trivial interchange between BN and Santa Fe -- maybe 20 carloads a year.
QUOTE: CB&Q and Santa Fe never were major interchange partners, in part because they paralleled each other throughout the midwest, and because the traffic patterns didn't set up very many Santa Fe-CB&Q interchanges.
