Them 'doggies' used to roll off the cattle cars and into the pens on the SW side of Chicago. On hot summer nights, with the wind from the SW, their presence was......distinct, noticeable.

Then they were gone. Cheaper to process in Omaha and K.C..

Piggies too, about which Sinclair famously wrote "They use everything about the hog except the squeal."

Now the 'cattle' and the piggies roll off Metra. LOL!
