Thought that now was the time for a little levity. And just how many head of cattle can be put into a forty foot car?
Only 10, after that there's more feet. Chuck Hladik
While on the subject of levity as related to railroads, one of my father's (who spent many years as a Roadmaster/Track supervisor on the Wabash) favorite questions was "How many cars will a stub end siding hold?"
His answer was "Nobody knows. The hogger can just keep shoving them in."
