IC sold off the CC&P, when they were doing their massive downsizing in the 1980s. In the mid 1990s, they bought it back. What was the motive? By that time, UP was taking over the Northwestern. There was little hope of getting a slice of the pie on overhead traffic at Omaha/ Council Bluffs. Was there much online traffic?
On a side note, how was BN finally able to get control over the line through E. Dubuque?
