jeffhergert : So far, I haven't found a multi stop waybill in my collection.

wjstix : As I understand it, the waybill shows where the car is coming from, and where it's going to. If a freight or passenger train had an LCL car, it wouldn't be 'going' anywhere,

Just for clarity, a multi-stop waybill and and LCL waybill are two completely different things.

A multi-stop waybill is a car load freight waybill that has stops enroute.

An LCL car can certainly have a waybill, it won't be a revenue waybill, but it would be a waybill sending it to the destination station in care of the agent at that station.  There has to be something to tell the crews where to send the car and any roads the car interchanges with where to take it. All the individual LCL shipments will have revenue waybills for them.
