Remember helping neighbor load producer car (box car) with oats. Augar stuck in the door shoveling dusty oats against the walls to get a load. He was getting a whopping .97 cents a bushel and happy to get rid of them .

65 years ago my dad was a track Forman, he told me efficiency or working to make a profit was a foreign concept to the rr. Prime example when I bought grain the rr spotted me 40 ton boxcars but hauled 100 ton hoppers another 20 miles on a 60 lb rail to be loaded 1/2 full. The sorting yard was 30 miles away.
