I did want to have the rare odd ball shipment of something, that car could just be left at a handy location near a street crossing, even have the crew spot the car on the crossing and wait for it to be unloaded.

Ed,I knew of a short line that did that .All to sadly this short line lost its customers to trucks and a plant closing..They used a tan colored GE70 tonner with no road name and carried the number 22...The road was 1.5 miles long and served IIRC 7 customers in its heyday..When I visited this short line in '77 they was down to 3 customers and was working 2-3 days a week..
