The Santa Fe, like PFE, avoided handing off perishable traffic to the Pennsy, which had the nation's worst record for timely movement of perishables,
In 1954, the Pennsy received 7,500 cars of perishables from the Chicago Produce Terminal. Approximately 60,000 carloads of perishable traffic eastbound were handled through the Dolton interchange with the IHB.
