New Highliner Cars Ready to Serve Area
Four new Highliner commuter cars are in Illinois Central Gulf suburban service with a fifth en route between Canada and Woodcrest shops in Homewood. CSSMTD trustees Simmons and Chiebicki inspected the fifth car at Bombardier-MLW's La Pocatiere plant and discussed delivery rates with Bombardier officials after delays. The fourth car was delayed at the Sarina border due to mismatched export papers, a mix-up tied to Montreal subway car documents.
