A timed-freight should be one that adhered to a specific schedule. The Southern Pacific (sg) had scheduled second-class freights in its employee Time Tables. These, I suppose, were used to expedite freight over the divisions.

Other freight work would have been done by an extra train. These might have regular crew call times and days.

[Mixed (passenger and freight) trains were third-class on the SP.]
