If milk cans were handled, the regular train crews handled the cans (not a popular part of the job, especially if they had to wear passenger uniforms on that run). They both loaded the full cans and unloaded the empties. At less busy stops, there would have been no raised milk platform, and the crews would have lifted the cans from the low platform to the level of the car floor. (Not a popular part of the job.)
