I would be happy to!  Let me

I would be happy to!  Let me make sure I have the full list of fonts, and download locations for them.

Waybills

That is typical of a pre WW1 waybill.  About WW1 they standardized on the “modern” format.

Correct!  I'm working in that

Correct!  I'm working in that era, so these work for me.  Thanks for the caveat, Dave!

1981 vs 1918

I thought you were modeling 1981.

A 1981 waybill looks like this:

I've started a new layout in

I've started a new layout in addition to NJ.  :D  But that's a good reference for me as well, thank you!

Early Rail

That helps clear things up.  Before you get too wedded to the 1890's waybills, I would suggest you look at "memorandum waybills" or what the P&R RR called "car tickets".  They were about 3 x 6 or 2.5 x 5 and basically were prototype car cards and waybills on one piece of heavy paper.  The conductor carried them to know what cars were on his train.  I have modified my CC&WB to resemble the car ticket format.

Below is a "standard" CC&WB (what I used for my 1950 and previous 1900 operations) and below that are the current "car tickets".

If you don't like those, here's another example of the older waybill format.  30,000 pounds of manure.  So yes, I'm giving you a load of B.S. 

@dave1905 That was cheap

$80 for over 20 Tons!   (Compare to today...)

If I ever change from ProTrak, this looks like a very great way to go for my 1905 period layout.

I do have an Empty Car bill similar to yours.
