(erielack) Re: Empty milk car question

The trailers must have been ramped at Binghamton and then added to the rear of a passenger train. Were they tank trailers or insulated dry vans? This must have been the shortest-ever TOFC move on EL or predecessors: approx 200 miles.

Sheffield Creamery (Sealtest) in Homer ended rail shipments on 5-13-66.  
Through most of the EL service, Sheffield shipped their product in 
piggy-back trailers (see photos and discussion in Volume 3).
