The crews call the jointly operated Dredgby Belt (Milwaukee Road & Chicago Northwestern) the "Sausage Line" because of the large number of meat packers the railroad serves. When the "patrols" leave the yard at Dredgby with the unblocked "bunch" for local delivery, they stop at the first available siding and switch the cars into "station order." I doubt they will take the time to put the Oscar Meyer cut in "song order" too before making the "pull."
