When were milk and cream shipments discontinued?

[NW Mailing List]

I believe most milk cans were transported in baggage and express cars.
From what I've read about the dairy industry, I don't think it was so
much that the railroads stopped accepting them but the dairy traffic
simply moved to trucks for cost and effeciancy reasons.

 I have a follow up question, how did the N&W ship those?
 Thanks,
