American Rails Chapter 7-Passing a Cotton Belt Freight

The Abraham Lincoln departed.  A Cotton Belt F7 headed south towards Texas with carloads of manufactured goods transferred from the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Its carloads, marked with slogans such as Merchandise Service told of cargo headed from the great lakes region and the steel belt on its way to the rural areas of Texas.  Tractors on flat cars and various appliances made up part of the train's freight.
The Black Widow units headed the hot shot on its way.  Agricultural goods would make their way back up from Texas to the North, such as cotton and grain on this trek from States such as Arkansas, Missouri and Texas.  The train rolled on and was gone, carrying its cargo to its corner of America.
