I've heard of ranchers piling their dead cattle on the tracks and filing claims
for the railroad hitting their cattle. Any insight along those lines Pete ??

Yes
indeed..."OCCASIONALLY" somebody would file a
claim....When I was Manager Freight Claims at the Rock
Island we had a separate department consisting of a
supervisor and 4 Claim Investigators who handled NOTHING BUT
GRAIN CLAIMS....They came in by the bale...
Most grain companies including the rurral CO OPs had
one or more persons who did nothing more than file
claims...
When the covered hopper came along all the railroad
Claim Agents with approval of management got together...A
TRUE MIRACLE and in direct violation of the Elkins Act
barring "collusion" and agreed that we would not
pay any claims for loss for "Clear Record" covered
hoppers...In claim "parlance" a clear record car
was one which bore no evidence of leakage. Of course when
the claims came in we had a "standard" declination
letter with certainly no mention of any
"cooperation" between carriers on this matter.
There were some lawsuits, but, to the best of my knowledge
from the time I left the Claim Department in 1972 no body
had "CAVED"
At the risk of any further "rants" on this
subject become boring and uninteresting to this group
that's all I'll say now...If anybody has questions
I'll be glad to "declaim" forther on the
matter.
Pete

Did any one calculate the load shrinkage from leaking
cars. I am sure that somewhere along the line some one would
file a claim for lost grain.
