John and list

That's the way it was done on the Lincoln Division as well...Livestock was 
normally kept on the head end so that it could be quickly set over for "feed, 
water, and rest" at terminals.

Trains making pickups were supposed to hang onto the stock when picking up 
"dead freight" so that it could be kept first out. Drovers cars, as you 
pointed out, were normally carried right ahed of the w/c.
