Locomotive Servicing Terminals: Shared or Dedicated?

Foreign power also could be found at an engine terminal when: <br /> <br />--There were power pooling or run-through arrangements with the other road(s). These practices accounted for many foreign-road units at Union Pacific's North Platte diesel servicing facilities over the years; <br /> <br />--The foreign road(s) had trackage rights or overhead rights over the home road, which included the right to have power serviced at the home road's terminal. For many years, Soo Line had such an arrangement with Milwaukee Road in Milwaukee. I've seen many photos of Soo 4-8-2s, F units, Geeps and its sole SD9 at MILW's West Milwaukee engine terminal. <br /> <br />--Use of the engine terminal by foreign power may be incident to use of a union passenger station. Again using Milwaukee as an example, after the Milwaukee Union Station was completed in 1965, it was common to see CNW passenger power at the West Milwaukee (Milw. Road) engine terminal for turning and servicing.
