[quote user="dehusman"] Technically those "When empty return to ......" assignments only apply to specially equipped cars (load divider, insulated, covered hoppers, specially equipped gons, rotary hoppers, auto loaders, tank cars, plug doors, etc).  General service cars (regular boxcars, hoppers, gons, flat cars) are not assigned and would not be stenciled.  They would be handled through car service rules. <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] An exception to this would be "clean" box cars in captive newsprint service.  MEC's were stenciled "For Newsprint Loading Only". Also OH Wright Packing would receive stock cars or refrigerator cars (if it is a meat packing plant).
