Re: Freight Forwarding
Doesn't Georgia have some airplane (or airplane parts) manufacturing ? With Boeing up in Seattle,
could some of this traffic be parts or castings for aircraft? Valuable parts can travel very long distances.

So it looks like it is not just a one year anomaly. I will look at this flow in other years when I get back home this weekend.
Glad you are enjoying the data, if anyone has preferences for the next several commodities to be examined pls drop me a note off list and I will try to accommodate.

A real oddity on the state-to-state forwarder flows: 4300 carloads a year fromI just double checked this flow and it's real, not a typo. It is consistent with the state to state table for Georgia that I published earlier (an excess of 35 tons to Washington from Georgia in 1950), second table at:
Georgia to Washington State? It's by far the largest flow to or from either
state.
