. . .or any other food distributor. They seldom made food -- or any other product. They bought them and resold them. Inbounds would be anything you could buy at the store; outbounds would be empties, or empties with returning pallets. Many cars would be "assigned" by the origin or destination railroad and would run captive: loaded one way, empty the other by reverse route.
Your waybills should reflect your affection for reality. Real: onions from Gilroy, CA, via WP-DRGW-MP-GM&O-Erie. Whimsical: onions from Gilroy, CA, via WP-GN-CP-SOO-Erie or WP-ATSF-SD&AE- NdeM-T&P-MP-GM&O-Erie . . . or whatever you think will give your crews a chuckle. After all, they still have to drill out the car.
Anything you can or could buy came from some origin to a warehouse for final distribution by :=( truck. Have some fun!
