I would say most movement was feeders destination to local farmers.  Trucks took the business over by the early 70's
Swift at Rochelle I think was all beef and local
Steve in SC

Subject: [CBQ] Stock Cars on the C&I

 

List,

I'm modeling 1950, and I'm wondering if you would see live cattle inbound from Minneapolis/St. Paul heading east to Chicago?  Also, would you see NP or GN stock cars heading east on the C&I?  I could certainly see empties heading west to get them back to the home roads.

Also meat related - the Swift plant in Rochelle received live beef/hogs from where?

I appreciate any answers I can get.

Rich G.
