    When I started at the CPR in the late 70's it was very common in cold winter conditions to have trains leave Toronto or Montreal with 90 or so cars and by the time they arrived in Thunder Bay to be reduced to about 60 cars. Once those trains reached the extremely cold air around Chapleau they were no longer able to maintain the required air pressure on the tail-end of the train and off would come about 30 cars.
    Sometimes the trains made it to Thunder Bay with 90 cars but couldn't get the air pressure back up after having cars switched on or off and an outgoing brake test performed. In that case, the train would be reduced in T.Bay. The cars that were taken off enroute were run as their own train - usually with 2 locomotives on the headend - and were called 'overflow' trains. They were usually short, fast trains.
    It used to get VERY busy in this region - and on the prairies - whenever we experienced a cold snap such as we are now experiencing because you would sometimes have almost as many overflow or short trains running as you had regular or long trains.
