One of my grandfathers was a pretty big cattleman at one time and a couple of times went in with a few other cattlemen to hire box cars to haul their cattle to Chicago. And they had a private rail car to enjoy on the way there and back.
We just have the story, I'd kill for pictures, it must have been grand!!
Grandpa later did a 'creative/strategic bankruptcy' towards the end of the Great Depression and in less than 10 years was the biggest farm operation in the county.
The guy was sharp, except for a little speed bump with the IRS around 1950, he literally pooped gold.
