Reply to "Twin Tank Milk Cars: How were they used?"

The old photos are interesting. My first sales job was selling cleaners to the food industry and the older milk plants usually had a certain look about them. You can still find a few but being used for something else.  I worked for awhile at Otto Milk in Pgh. and it was in an old brewery building. Now it is a residence for old folks !!  Talk about repurposing.  It was near a PRR rail yard but was gone right before I worked there. Good money but hard  work. I was glad to go back to school. Milk was an important commodity back in an earlier day. I read a RR, maybe the NYC, would head a train south in NY state  picking up full milk cans and arrive in NYC in the morning  with thousands of gallons of milk for the city.
