CP Rail Swapping Empty Car for Load Peerless Confectionery Lakewood at Diversey Chicago March 2006
I was lucky to catch this CP job taking a load of sugar up to Peerless Confectionery on a grey day in March of 2006. Within nine months shortline Chicago Terminal would take over operations on the former Milwaukee Road North Side lines then in a little over a year Peerless would be out of business.
The CP crew is swapping out an empty covered hopper for a new load of sugar in another hopper. Peerless was the last customer on the Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line north of Clybourn by 1984.
