Re: A few reefers unloading produce in Chicago
I don't recognize anything that makes it Minneapolis / St. Paul.
That diagonal conveyor has to be the key to the location.

Is it possible that the fully loaded truck has - - - - New Brighton painted on the door?

Re: stock car capacity
I’m in dire need of market ready plastic pigs for my stock pens, and I haven’t found a source. Any suggestions on where I can find them?

Re: stock car capacity
I got about 30 plastic pigs into my 40 foot single deck stock car. The change in weight was noticeable. I resorted to cutting and pasting pictures of animals then putting them together as a scale 40

Dennis, certainly a string of Santa Fe reefers in the right foreground. They have the characteristic hatch orientation and vertical hatch rest.

Re: stock car capacity
Thank you Guy Wilber. I should have known that the numbers of livestock would vary by the weights of the animals. Very enlightening.
I recently read a fascinating book, Slaughterhouse: Chicago's Union

Re: Munshaw Canada slide Canadian Pacific CPR dock yard scene
I am guessing that the gray better hides the cleanout of the manure and such. Red would become discolored quicker. As I remember, NYC had a similar color scheme.
