This is a subject worth checking out. I for one am curious if “flour sugar and beans” were shipped in stacked burlap 50# sacks? Wheat was not grown in the area (or was it) but were beans and sugar (as in beets)? Wasn’t there a flour mill on the lower half of the original loop in Durango?

Considering that mine ore was also transported in box cars, I can see a need to not cross use these cars.
