Most of the railroads ran their mainline loaded stock cars as scheduled movements akin to a unit train. This allowed them to meet the Federal rules for watering and resting the stock enroute in trackside pens without delaying other freight. Many of these moves were scheduled one direction only; the cars made their way back home either as a section of another train or intermeshed with miscellaneous cars in a general freight move. A good example of this kind of operation was the MKT's Katy Packer.[dinner][C=:-)]
