Ok guys...here it is. I'm a little late because I was out of town.
First, a bit of explaination. This data was hand written on 5x7 note
pad sheets by somebody in the Swift & Co traffic dept and given to the
NKP. Each sheet has a stamp "received Nickel Plate Road, date,
Frankfort, IND". I tried to use the abbreviations used on the sheets.
Where "VAN" appears it refers to the PRR Vandalia lines with which the
NKP had an interchange at the east end of the yard. These cars were
taken directly to the interchange. The "xtown" indication refers, I
believe, to where the load of raw beans originated. The beans
apparently arrived at Swift in Frankfort in other cars and were
processed into meal and sent on. All of the originating locations were
local elevators, some on the NKP, some not. I guess the local elevator
did not have milling capability and used Swift to sell bean meal. After
I got into these particular lists I noticed that there many 27000 series
NKP cars. During this time the NKP was rebuilding double sheathed cars
into these cars at Frankfort so these loads were probably the first
loads for these cars. The next time I will pick a different time to
avoid this and get more interesting car numbers. The list is best
viewed on the full screen.
