In the early '70s Penn Central would haul the cattle cars (70 and 89 footers at the time) in the Truc Trains. That way they could get them from Chicago to Philly or New York without having to stop for water/feed/exercise. By that time the cattle cars were not common, but they came through often enough that you could count on seeing at least one a day.
