Thanks for the answer!

@Prairie Trains: I think I underestimated the amount of LCL that was transported by railways back then.

Matt, I will share this tidbit. Some local passenger trains carried LCL in baggage cars like a Warm Morning stove, a ice box and other like things. These would be unloaded during a regular station stop or in some rare cases at a rural road crossing..

Also even today there is a small amount of modern LCL being ship.. Ever see a bulkhead flatcar with a small stack of plate steel in the center of the car? Some boxcars isn't loaded to capacity either.
