Sometimes the agent doing the rebilling would just file the old bill at his location for his own backup, sometimes the old bill(s) would be stapled to the new bill.<br />Tony ThompsonTony Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593061828601275378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218524178230712938.post-17552213036241787112021-03-13T12:54:29.853-08:002021-03-13T12:54:29.853-08:00Thanks, Tony.

As I'm planning operations on my approximation of the SP Keeler Branch, I've noticed that multiple NG C/Ls often get consolidated into a single wide gauge car, and in that case, it makes sense for the SP agent at Owenyo to rebill the loads rather than giving the Jawbone Branch conductor a sheaf of waybills for each loaded car. Conversely, it would make sense to rebill loads that get split among two or three NG cars from a single wide gauge car.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />Kurt<br /><br />Yodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519302504766718908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218524178230712938.post-27408121294297536192021-03-13T10:48:03.469-08:002021-03-13T10:48:03.469-08:00I don't know that much about narrow-gauge rail...I don't know that much about narrow-gauge railroads, so can't answer with authority. But I don't see why a waybill could not cross the gauge boundary. Loads that were reloaded into a different car simply show up with the new car number typed next to or above the old car number, and the old number crossed out. <br /><br />It might also be the case that loads would be re-billed by the receiving road, as happened sometimes at international boundaries, or for diverted loads which had a movement in the opposite direction from their original direction.<br />Tony ThompsonTony Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593061828601275378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218524178230712938.post-71989123898092412272021-03-13T07:09:56.536-08:002021-03-13T07:09:56.536-08:00Tony,

SP and D&RGW must have had rules for how to handle this, and of course, there were lots of NG short lines that connected to standard gauge carriers by means of transferring a commodity from one car to another.<br /><br />Any ideas?<br /><br />Cheers,<br />KurtYodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519302504766718908noreply@blogger.com
