Remarks & Notes |
Westbound IC train from Chicago to Council Bluffs is about to pass East Cabin in East Dubuque. There was trackage and agreement put in place between the CCP and the BN from East Dubuque to Portage in 1992. The CN still today retains owner ship of the eastbound track, while BNSF owns the westbound, and maintains/dispatches both. The BNSF must pay when they delay CN trains. The agreement ended the era of a manned East Cabin operator around 1994. Back in 1996 the CCP days had ended but the era of solid geeps on trains in and out of Iowa still was normal. The CN would change the geep era soon. |
