Re: An update from Yarmouth Model Works
Tim,
My bad! I was working from someone calling the trucks depicted in the photo "Elsey" trucks, and those are PRR 2D-F17 and 2D-F17A, and indeed those trucks are found under X37 and X328 series cars!
HOWEVER, I know realize that while odd looking, these are NOT Elsey trucks. The trucks in question in the STMFC posts are indeed 2D-F24 Buckeye all-service trucks and those are the trucks being sold by F&C. Now for some Elsey trucks as well 😉

This was true, but not impossible to circumvent. SP's Pacific Motor Trucking held franchises in several adjoining Western states, and though a trailer could not be hauled across state lines in a single move, it could be dropped off near the line and attached to a tractor of the arrival state to continue its route. At the time of World War I and the USRA, there were seven major and a few minor express companies (already hurting when the postal Parcel Post had been expanded in 1913) were combined under USRA auspices into a single company, American Railway Express Co. During the 1920s, the ICC urged railroads to acquire ARE, and in 1929 they did, and 69 major railroads owned the REA stock, while minor railroads participated in REA though owning no stock. You may have noted that builder photos of express reefers in the 1920s showed the ARE lettering. Tony Thompson

Re: An update from Yarmouth Model Works
Jon,
Some, such as the engines, might be shipped covered, but others, such as the presses, ladels, transformers, etc, were often shipped naked.

Re: Railway express agency (was LCL)
Lee In those times, interstate regulation was very extensive. Ever see the ICC building in Washington? It's MASSIVE. But from 1929 onwards REA was owned by a consortium of railroads with shares proportional to the amount of express revenues of the 69 owners. From 1961 onwards the REA leased space on railroad trains and kept 50% of the profits (previously 90% of profits went to the owner railroads) and the ICC (in the 1960's) prohibited REA from operating all-truck services and only allowed them to use trucks in conjunction with rail service. This prevented REA from becoming UPS or Fedex. :-( As the first major "corporations" in America the railroads were subjected to the greatest amount of regulation as corporate and anti-trust laws (and unions) were invented during the 100 years after the Civil War. These conditions really circumscribed the railroads' business and severely limited them. The rest, as they say, is history. Tim

Re: Railway express agency (was LCL)
REA was owned by the railroads. The Interstate Commerce Commission had rules about carriers competing against themselves and regulated other carriers as well. Although they did at times make exceptions on a case by case basis, generally they watched out for anti-competitive situations. A barge line could not own a railroad and vice versa. This largely kept the railroads out of the interstate trucking business. In many places they were allowed to do local delivery but even this was often done on a contract basis. The rules were lawyer-complex but this is the best understanding I have of it. Chuck Peck

I believe REA was owned by a consortium of railroads same as the Pullman Company in its last years.
