Short haul local rail service? For example, would grain be sent to a flour mill in a given city, converted to flour, loaded back into a box car and sent to a large bakery across town in the same city? Logs to a mill/ lumber to a furniture factory? Etc. I assume this would have been more common in the past, before modern trucks were developed. Any examples of this kind of service from the past? How about present day operations? Ron H.
