No dedicated grain trains till more modern times.  Most cars would have been carloads alone.  Even multiple car loads out of the same elevator and headed to the same place had their own waybill.

Back when boxcars were the primary grain haulers, how many of these cars would be in a typical CB&Q train? Also, were smaller amounts of filled grain boxcars mixed in with other cars on locals till they got to a yard to be picked up by a grain train?
