Hi group
Did CPR ever rerouted their east-west trains through Northern
Michigan on Soo Line tracks due to problems on the Canadian mainline?
Say a major landslide or forest fire or any reason that would have
forced cross country trains to travel south of the border.
I model the Soo Line (and CPR) in the transition era. I would like
to run my CPR steam trains on Soo Line tracks during operations. I
know I could freelance the whole thing but I am curious to se if it
did happen at any time.
If it did, it would be nice if anyone who lived it to share stories.
I am sure these would be fascinating.
