Doug,

Why are they resting sheep at Montgomery? Cars were usually
trucked from Montgomery to Chicago based on their schedule.

West? West to what packing plant?

I do recall some stock being loaded on the IC in areas of
western Iowa. I recall a photo I did going from Eola to
Montgomery. I also recall IC stock when I was working at
IHB/Congress Park, also going to either Clyde or Montgomery.
