Then, these former 50′ express cars were most likely captive in a circular route between Wichita and some tannery destination right? Returning as an empty of course.
In other words, they probably never made it to the muskrat place in New Iberia. Whatever boxcar I recall there, it was not blue and white I’m pretty certain. I’d forgotten about the muskrat warehouse. Now I’ve got a great business to run a siding to.
As an aside, did you ever see a truck on the highway with “fish” written on it? Very similar to hide service, once the commodity is transported the vehicle can’t be used for anything else, it is law in many places.
