Hi Pierre
Have a look at message 11685 and related messages for some good insight.
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cpsig/message/11685> I'd really like to go
further and see track diagrams or employee timetable notes for the border
there and see precisely how the Mountaineer and Soo Dominion were worked by
the crews. I've not really heard about the freight crossing there. Was the
interchange track cross border or on one side or the other?

Subject: [cpsig] Border Crossing
Hi there
Some years ago CPR and Soo Line operated the Soo Dominion/Mountaineer
and the Winnipeger (SOO 89-90 CPR 109 & 110) across the border &
then CP.1 & C.P.2 to Vancouver
Ref. Patrick Dorin's book on the Soo Line, Pages 81 & 190
Does anyone have any information on the procedure when going from one
country to the other. How far did CPR locos go in the US and Vice-
versa. Or did they switch locos at Noyes or Portal. Was freight
handled in the same manner?
Are there any pictures of mixed consists around?
Did Soo Line locos make it to Vancouver in the fifties and sixties?
Thanks in advance.
Pierre
