No The MLS service for CF never used anything except A300 and 727s.
L1011s were considered too heavy for the contract, and the DC-10s were fully scheduled/unavailable.
TWA DID offer a night-courier fare that was similar in idea but less well defined and didn't have a full cargo provider buying the cargo hold capacity (it was all ad-hoc done by TWAs own cargo office), maybe thats where the L1011 freighter mystery is coming from though for TWA?
Interesting tid-bit. Eastern tried (unsuccessfully) to sell UPS on a Moonlight Special operation after CF pulled the plug in the late 80s, might of seen alot of blue stripes in Louisville
