Description: Sproles Motor Freight Lines was founded in 1926 as a provider of general cartage services throughout the greater Dallas, Texas area. Within two decades, Sproles grew to provide guaranteed overnight freight service throughout Texas, claiming to be the state's only 'gulf to panhandle' trucking company. While other trucking outfits worked to grow with an eye on going national, Sproles Motor Freight Lines remained focused on the Lonestar State and remained a full-service Texas trucking company. In the '50s, Sproles' statewide reach and dependable service caught the eye of Lufkin-based Red Ball Lines, who would eventually acquire Sproles to form Sproles-Red Ball Lines.
Description: Founded in Detroit, Michigan, in 1929, Interstate Motor Freight quickly grew into a major player in the trucking industry. After merging with Star Transfer Line in 1932, the company relocated to Grand Rapids, solidifying its presence in the Midwest and Northeast.Through steady expansion, Interstate Motor Freight System became a powerhouse, ranking as the 10th largest trucking company by 1980, with 3,500 employees and extensive route services. However, the deregulation of the trucking industry in the 1980s brought significant challenges. By 1983, Interstate was losing $20 million annually, leading to bankruptcy and eventual liquidation in 1984, marking the end of a 52-year legacy in freight transportation.

Description: Interstate Motor Freight was founded in Detroit, Michigan, in 1929, only to be purchased by Star Transfer Line in 1932. The two firms combined became Interstate Motor Freight System and relocated to Grand Rapids. Interstate grew steadily with a focus on providing route service throughout the Midwest and Northeast. By the time 1980 rolled around and brought deregulation to the industry, Interstate was the 10th largest trucking company with 3,500 employees systemwide, but like their competitors, were rocked by the newly deregulated industry. By 1983, the company was losing $20M a year, and the following year saw them go into bankruptcy, followed by total liquidation after a 52-year run.

Description: In the 1980s, my Dad bought me my first proper trainset, featuring a Class 58 in Railfreight livery (that's the greylivery with the large logo and distinct red bar underneath). I still have that trainset, along many other models, including a Class 37 which caught my eye because of the noses at each end. I've drawn it here in Petroleum Sector livery which was used in the 1980s.
Description: Cabooses, also referred to as 'hacks' in railroad jargon, are one of the more enduring symbols of railroads. With a viewing cupola on the roof, the main role of these cars was so that the crew could watch the train as it moved and ensure there were no issues or disconnects. At one point, railroad crews consisted of up to five men, so the caboose also served as a rolling hotel. Equipped with bunks, a stove, and a bathroom, these cars were home away from home. Like many things, the caboose and her crew were eventually replaced by technology, and train crews launched the 'Trains Are Safer With a Caboose' campaign to save them (and their jobs). Obviously, we know how that turned out, as it's rare sight these days, but they are still around!
Description: Founded in Middletown, Connecticut in 1920, Bailey's Express got their start hauling loads of 40-quart milk canisters to New Haven. They eventually stopped delivering milk and would later diversify, building up a varied customer list with regional businesses of all sizes from a myriad of industries and providing them with a suite of comprehensive freight forwarding services. Bailey's picked up freight in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island and brought it back to their Middletown terminal where goods were repackaged nightly into larger loads and shipped out to their final destination via over-the-road line haul trucking companies. The Middletown terminal operated 20 hours per day and handled 500 loads every night.
Description: A black and white image of Great Western Railway engine 2857 pulling the early morning goods train through Arley station on the Severn Valley Railway early on a foggy morning. This nostalgic, almost eerie image of a goods train on a foggy morning with the station master walking up the platform has a period feel to it! 2857 was built in Swindon in 1918 and was in service until 1963. This class of engine (2800) was responsible for hauling most of the long distance heavy freight trains on the GWR / BR western region for almost 60 years!
Description: Despite having a rather unremarkable name, Standard Trucking Co. was a pretty remarkable company. Founded in 1943 in Charlotte, North Carolina, Standard grew to be a nationwide carrier with terminals across the country, but sadly, fell victim to a post deregulation trucking industry.
Description: Headquartered in Grand Prairie, Texas, Arnold Transportation Services was a full service truckload carrier that billed themselves as 'the original regional carrier.' Arnold’s foundation in regional service was established in 1932, and would go on to provide irregular route truckload service, dedicated solutions and logistics support. With operations strategically concentrated in the South Central and Midwest states, the company consistently created capacity for its customers in and around major markets. After 92 years in business, Arnold Transportation Services had 341 truck drivers and 402 power units when they suddenly shut down in 2024.
Description: Canadian National Railways (CNR) was officially incorporated on June 6, 1919, becoming a government-owned entity formed by merging several financially struggling railways that had fallen under government control. This amalgamation included the Grand Trunk Railway, Grand Trunk Pacific, Intercolonial Railway, Canadian Northern Railway, and the National Transcontinental Railway. The formation of CNR aimed to consolidate these lines into a single, more efficient system, primarily focused on freight transport, though it also operated passenger services until 1978, when they were spun off into their own organization.
