[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Murphy Siding [ What were the falcons? Thanks [/quote] The Falcons were scheduled high speed run-through TOFC/COFC trains. I believe the service started in the early to mid 70s. Wood Street was used as the terminal because it was close to the city with good access from nearby expressways. There were cutoff times for trucks and the trains left on time with whatever they had. CNW did a really good job marketing the service and it was very successful. When double-stack serviice started, Wood Street and an old B&O yard adjacent to it were turned into Global One.
