transportation of horses

[faraway]

Horses load easily into boxcars using a simple ramp.

Every country has had to move them, and they all used boxcars, which were far more common and easily obtainable than stock cars. The French even labeled their boxcars 10/40's - ten horses or forty men.

I remember some photos of the German army about 100 years ago loading man and horses into boxcars. The floor was covered with straw. German boxcars hat small ventilation flaps at that time.
