Doug, I found some waybills from the 1960s and they were for car
loads of hogs going from Carthage Ill to Baltimore , Md. Instructions
on waybill say Feed at Clyde,Ill at carriers convenience. also Clean
car furnished, for immediate slaughter, and shower in transit where
possible. This same station also had several waybills for bedding
sand, I wonder if the sand was placed on the floor of the stock cars?
What do you think? Archie
