I was told once that agents in small towns, and small shippers, often made mistakes in routing, and the waybill would then be corrected somewhere en route. <br /><br />The waybill I showed, being a NYC bill, probably would have had correct NYC symbol used.<br /><br />The waybill was supposed to show interline transfer points, as you point out. I have seen relatively few waybills without them, usually ones for short journeys.<br />Tony ThompsonTony Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593061828601275378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218524178230712938.post-37558832345492537882020-06-10T12:08:09.333-07:002020-06-10T12:08:09.333-07:00You're quite right, but the layout owner has c...You're quite right, but the layout owner has chosen 5 x 7 inches. Since paper this size is available, and modern laser printers can print on it, we are going that route.<br />Tony ThompsonTony Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593061828601275378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218524178230712938.post-43213350563916330322020-06-10T06:54:20.537-07:002020-06-10T06:54:20.537-07:00Tony, I love the waybill posts.

Using my 1947 Lines East routing guide, the by-the-book preferred routing looks like it would be NYC (W)-Gardenville-NYC (E)-Selkirk Jct. or Rennselaer-NYC (B)-Palmer-CV (you'd need a Lines West routing guide to be sure). There were two alternate routes, one via the Michigan Central [NYC (M)] and one via the Big 4 [NYC (C)] between Cleveland and Danville, IL. I doubt many shippers filled out the intercompany junctions, but they were supposed to be there. The few 1960s revenue waybills I have show pretty good use of NYC (B) via Selkirk, but the rest was usually just NYC or NYC (E). What a paperwork nightmare for the NYC.Mike Clementsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218524178230712938.post-34552084397031824582020-06-09T17:48:09.272-07:002020-06-09T17:48:09.272-07:00Hi Tony, just an idea - use 5.5"x8.5" as...Hi Tony, just an idea - use 5.5"x8.5" as that entails a simple cutting of a standard 8.5"x11" sheet in half. Of course you would have to rotate the way bills 90 degrees before printing.<br />Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975463575861593815noreply@blogger.com
