RE: (erielack) Re: EL Consists
I recall that FRUTVEG was used uncommonly; these loads generally appeared as
OTHFOOD. I erred on MEATPRO; it was actually MEATPAC as you listed (I;ve
seen a reference to PHP or Packing House Products in the early 1960's). One
other difference between EL and standard AAR: the latter broke out
"Forwarder and shipper assoc traffic"; on EL it was included in MERCHSE.
This list needs to be added to the consist key on the website.
