Motive power sharing during the 1950s

Milwaukee and UP pooled passenger power during the mid '50's after Milwaukee took over from C&NW on Omaha-Chicago portion of Cities' runs. The Atlanta & West Point and the Western of Alabama pooled power on the Crescent. CofG and Illinois Central pooled E units but this may have been a little later-CofG units in pool wore IC colors and green diamond. I think that there may have been some pooling of power between the NYC and the IC on the James Whitcomb Riley but I'm not really sure. <br />Here in Northern California I neve saw any pooling or sharing of power from 1951 to 1956 when I moved away. It would be interesting to hear other examples of this practice during that time. <br />sp3811
