John-

I think you got it…..the only reference to “Mulely” on the internet that made sense was a name applied to a Holstein cow with no horns.   Mule Deer are also so nicknamed and I don’t know if they have antlers or not (being a city boy!).

I think it was a carry over (most of the railroaders back then had been raised on a farm) of the term used to discribe cows with no horns.

Here's a question that hopefully someone out there (John Mitchell?) can answer:  Early in the 20th century, both side door cabooses (not just Q waycars) and baggage cars without end platforms were said to have "muley ends."  Why??
