Oversimplification, Tony - the shipper could choose AMONG routes that were available in a published TARIFF. Once a tariff (rate and cargo between points A & B) was in

Rick, Urban legend, myth, fake news! The car service rules required cars to be routed "in the direction" of the home road. And note, that when a car was captured for a load that didn't meet that

Bravo, Tony. I had a '58 ORER out on my desk at lunch to compose a similar reply, but got called away. However, I'll relay one thought impressed on me by one of my operating mentors, a man who spent

In this time frame didn't all cars have to be rerouted to the home road via the same route it got there? So, if a car came into Chicago via the Rock Island, CNW and SP Cotton Belt it would go through

Or you hit it with a hammer and flatten them! Auto Zone and some of the other Auto supply houses have lead/tin with self stick down to ¼ oz . and a box cost about $10 -$15. Sent from Mail for

Ted, I model Fall 1953. The question would be how did the ATSF car get to Iowa to be commandeered for grain hauling, or put another way, what’s the likelihood of the car being in Iowa. I
