BTW, according to a note I have from Art Erdman, the Lincoln Park passing
siding has a capacity of "125 cars" (I assume this means 50' cars?), making
it a little over a mile long. Translated, that means it could hold 70
piggyback flats, and in later years the pig trains definitely exceeded this
length.
