transportation of horses

[nachoman]

I found a few photos of horses being loaded into boxcars for military service, but nothing of horses being loaded into stock cars. Tyson - I thought of that, but for a single town's needs it may be just easier to slaughter the herd elsewhere and ship the meat. I'm just trying to justify why my narrow gauge mostly industrial shortline would need at least one stock car. But after reading what I just wrote, it may make sense to have at least once refrigerator car as well. Not only do I have to haul the mine supplies and machinery in and the processed metal out, but also all the supplies for the workers and the town.
