What is a "milk train"?
A milk train is a type of train that was specifically used to transport fresh milk from farms to cities or processing plants. These trains were commonly used in the past, especially before refrigeration was widely available, as milk needed to be delivered quickly to preserve its freshness. The trains would typically run early in the morning to ensure the milk arrived as quickly as possible. While milk trains are less common today, they were once a crucial part of dairy distribution, helping ensure a steady supply of fresh milk.
Example
The milk train left early in the morning to collect goods from the countryside.
Farmers would wait by the station for the milk train to pick up their fresh produce.
