Silk trains were the highest priority manifests on the CNR.Originating in Vancouver these trains carried silk imported from China at the highest speed possible to the clothing markets in the east.Using specially purposed "express through baggage" cars and fast locomotives these trains were a sight to behold as they sped across the country.U2 Northern #6200 was on the lead as this silk extra thunders through Leetown.
