Richard,

A question on the loading. If the cars were there for several days when were the cattle loaded? When the train arrived, just before it arrived, Surely not a day or so in advance?

I have seen pictures on the Rio Grand narrow gauge where a train pulled up to the pens, the cattle were loaded, and the train took off never breaking the train. Would that be similar for a large shipment on the Q?

Empty stock cars were westbound the first part of every week to be distributed, with loads eastbound the following weekend to St. Joseph and Kansas City. Operation of these trains ended in 1952. There may have been a few livestock trains on the DeWitt to Holdrege route, but I never heard anyone discussing it.
