A question on car loading.

[rrinker]

Was the per hour thing always the case? Because there are so many stories of transfer runs being made as close to midnight as possible so the foreign road wouldn't get hit with another day's charge. If I'd only heard it once I'd say it was just that - a story, but I've seen it written in storeis in Classic Trains and other places, and I've heard it from former railroaders.
