Couldn't a six-compartment tank car make as many as six deliveries to customers? I forget the name for this type of tarriff but I think that cars could make multiple stops to drop partial cargos. So if there were a small bottler in Gridley who buys wine in 1,000 gallon lots (enough for 1,000 large jugs of wine), then that might work... If you think about it, a small town of 1,000 people on average consumes somewhere around that amount of wine every year.

Sorry but when I was a clerk on the UPRR you were allowed 2 stops en- route. You paid the freight on the whole car to the finial stop and a stop fee for each stop. Thank you Larry Jackman ljack70117@... It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them.
