A question on car loading.

[Puddlejumper]

And Gary, No the SOU/SLSF cars could not be routed further from home unless they were exempt from the basic car service rules for some reason.

And this answers my question. I assume that it was laziness on the part of the yardmaster or conductor that caused us to use whatever we had on hand for loads of scrap. I am sure that, since these loads were headed south on the RF&P sub, that the MEC gons perhaps should not have been used. LOL. It's been a long time since I worked for the railroad, but I can say that some shady stuff happens once in a while...
