A two part article on the Conrail in Canada in 1979: http://www.exporail.org/can_rail/Canadian%20Rail_no328_1979.pdf http://www.exporail.org/can_rail/Canadian%20Rail_no329_1979.pdf Some great info and photos in here. I wonder who the agent was at Windsor that the article references asking at the station for information would be 'well received as the operator on duty is usually a rail enthusiast' !!

The C&O trains would only run as far as Pelton and then their own track to St Thomas. Then use the trackage rights St Thomas to Niagara Falls. There were sometimes up to four thru trains plus in Windsor we had the C&O Pullers and 937/942 that went to the CP. At this date it was still Conrail.

I always understood "SC" and being "Suspension Bridge to Chicago" but it more than likely originated in Buffalo. Yes it was a run-thru.
