I have problems finding information and photos about industry in the Chicago area served by CBQ/BN/BNSF. Did CBQ never emphasized direct service of local Chicago clients but concentrated on the west routes?
I am under the impression that local Chicago client switching was a primary goal of MILW/SOO/CP and therefor is a lot of information available ion the net. Some information could be found of CNW/UP in that business and the many short lines but that is another topic.
ps. I like the green BN switchers (SW1200, SW1500) and look for their usage in Chicago industry switching service. That is the background of my question.
