Last Run to Peerless Confectionery Lakewood at Diversey Chicago February 1 2007
On February 1, 2007-just one month after Chicago Terminal took over operations from CP on the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line- it made its last documented run to the candy company to retrieve an empty tank car. By May of 2007 Peerless was out of business and a short time later its buildings were torn down to make room for more condos.
I was fortunate enough to join the crew with this vantage point from inside the Chicago Terminal SW-800. Now both Chicago Terminal and its parent company Iowa Pacific are no more.
