Additional Points About Waybills Having made the foregoing points about format, it’s worth addressing some further details about prototype Waybills. First, the bills shown above are derived from the standard Waybill of the AAR. But there were also other AAR forms, in particular for perishables, for livestock, and for LCL. Those standard forms can, of course, be cut down to model size and shape, just as described above. The AAR recommended that perishable Waybills be printed on pink stock, and this can of course be done with model bills too. Here are examples of model-form perishable (figure 10) and livestock (figure 11) bills. There are a number of details in the livestock bill relating to transit regulations for livestock, which can be a source of further operational points for those interested. Further, it is important to recognize that prototype empty cars usually moved on separate documents, often called Empty Car Bills, which were quite different in appearance from Waybills.
