CP 5748 Southbound at Manly IA
For awhile after the IC&E took over, the UP won the Ford contract out of St. Paul. I believe it lasted til the Ford plant closed or CP took over the IC&E?
Either way, that meant CP auto trains were running on the Spineline and usually in daylight. The CP power would often come with these trains, too. Here, an auto train pulls into the siding at Manly for a meet. Scanned Slide from March 2005.
