    Howdy folks,

    Did the Frisco post stock train schedules in regular timetables or were they an extra?

    Have fun,

    I wouldn't anticipate finding "stock trains" in the ETTs, as that would imply a "unit train"; a foreign concept until relatively recent history. Karl can correct me if I'm wrong, but even if a whole train may have been made up of stock cars, they would probably be run as a first or second section of a regular scheduled train. I don't believe they would be an extra due to the "perishable" nature of their cargo.

    As usual, Karl is the master. Intuition is not the best arbiter.
