That would be the 1960's, sorry.

The CPR has been running unit trains of coal and sulfur just to name a few
for a long time. The coal unit trains started in the 19660's if not the
late '50's.

Hello all,
Today you see many unit trains, the one that comes to mind mostly is a train
with only tank cars. I am wondering if this occurred in the 1950's as well.
I have seen video's of trains made up solely of tank cars or refrigerator
cars on the Union Pacific and hauled by steam locomotives, would the same
have happened in Canada on the CPR?
Thanks,
