MOPACMAN,
 
Thanks for the suggestion.
Putting a note in the manifest instructions is a great solution to my problem. 
Even a greater solution when you consider I won't have to request Eric to make a
program change to resolve my problem.

Loading/unloading of milk cans should be part of the train authority to travel
the main line. During the era that trains would handle milk, trains were run
mostly by timetable and train order. Milk was in most cases handled either by
passenger or special milk trains if there was enough business. The schedule for
these trains would indicate stops to pick up or unload cans and even full cars.
If you're setting out or picking up full cars then RailOp would have that in the
trains manifest, if individual can(s) you could put the locations in the
manifests instructions such as:

Stop to pickup/setout milkcans at
Bess
Carla
Eden

George Simmons
Dry Prong, LA
