Re: grain traffic

>Boy did those boxcars leak. When I was a kid in Palmyra Mo. my grandmother who 
lived near the tracks always raised chickens. She'd start out in the spring 
with 200 chicks. Due to the holes in the fencing and the tasty morsels of grain 
that could be found on the tracks, she would usually have about 150-175 plump 
grain fed hens ready for butcher in the fall.
