Re: Correction PRR Stock cars on Southern Pacific or Union Pacific tracks?

What was the date of the infamous KANSAS CITY FLOOD in the 1950's?? I recall that immediately following the floods there was an ICC car service directive regarding stock cars that lasted for a number of months during which eastern stock cars were seen all over the midwest. The aftermath of the flood was covered in a major article in Trains magazine. Denver also experienced massive flooding of the Platte river in the 1950's. Such events can cause long lasting disruption to freight car service patterns. (A more recent catastrophe being the UP's "meltdown" in the 1990's that spread like a virus from Texas to the entire US.) Tim O'Connor
