From DJ flap - Mostly assembled from a welter of local roads, the M&StL. begun in 1870, finally lived up to its true potential as a bridge line around the congested Chicago terminals for a brief fifteen years right after World War Two. Although the CNW, after purchasing the M&StL. in 1960, continued to operate it in much the same manner, the luster was gone.
