Union Pacific Shipping from Nebraska: Forwarded/Received/East/West

Data File:
UP_Shipping.csv

Description:

This Excel sheet comes from the original primary source (see below), and with the exception of the abbreviated column headings and last six columns, is exactly the same as the source.  The two documents show railroad traffic along various Union Pacific stations in 1893.  The abbreviations in the headings stand for the following:
R: received (as in goods received)
EB: eastbound (as in eastbound goods)
WB: westbound (as in westbound goods)
TF: total forwarded (as in goods forwarded, not be to confused with Total Forwarded, which indicates how many goods in total that station forwarded)  This category did not exist in the original source, and is a summation of all of the goods forwarded at each station.
D: difference.  This category did not exist on the original document and is an in-lab calculation of the number of goods (and which kind) that were either added to the Union Pacific from other and smaller railroad lines, or lost by the Union Pacific to nearby smaller railroad lines.
