For those of you interested in more historical detail about pig flats,
here is a resource list from the freight cars e-list.

Subject: RR historical society intermodal articles
Over the years several railroad historical societies have published
articles in their member magazine on their railroad's intermodal
operations and equipment.
Below are those that I am aware of. I'm sure that there must be
others that I have overlooked or just don't know about.
Perhaps you can add to the list?
