Somewhere a while back, I had run across some figures (percentages?) for what part of the cars on a railroad were from that RR line, what were from immediately connecting (secondary) lines, and what part were from other lines. The figures I had broke it down by boxcars, flats, hoppers, etc. - general car type - and had percentages for the 1940’s, 1950’s and 1960’s (with different percentages as the years progressed, natch).
Anyone know where that information can be found? Preferably, I’d like something online rather than one more book I have to buy (since funds are very limited currently). I was looking for the figures to have more realistic composition of the types of cars on my layout. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Or if someone from Kalmbach is reading here, there’s an addition to your Freight Cars book… (hint, hint).[;)]
