FREMO:87 goods traffic
„Jeder Betrieb, der leistungsfähig und wirtschaftlich arbeiten soll, erfordert planvolle Gestaltung und zweckentsprechende Ordnung. In ganz besonderem Maße gilt dies von den öffentlichen Verkehrsbetrieben. Sie können die Bedürfnisse der Öffentlichkeit nicht voll befriedigen, wenn sie lediglich gute Leistungen wirtschaftlich und zuverlässig hervorbringen, was z.B. einem Fabrikbetriebe genügen würde.
Von den Leistungen eines guten Verkehrsbetriebes fordert mal vielmehr zusätzlich und an erster Stelle Pünktlichkeit. Sie setzt ein ganz besonders hohes Maß von planvoller Ordnung, peinlicher Genauigkeit und strenger Pflichtauffassung voraus, und zwar in um so höherem Maße, als der Betrieb der Bahnen des öffentlichen Verkehrs nicht nur örtlichen Bedürfnissen dient, sondern länderverbindende Aufgaben erfüllt.“ (Fahrdienst auf Betriebsstellen - Stufe III, Eisenbahn-Lehrbücherei der Deutschen Bundesbahn, Band 47, 1. Auflage, Starnberg 1952, S. 24)
This abstract taken from a teacher shows, how serious the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) took the task.
Freight transport at the Deutsche Bundesbahn
"Goods belong to the train!" This was the message of the DB years ago. Freight transport plays an important role for the railway companies, for example, in the 1950s, DB generated some 70% of transport revenues from the transport of goods.
The handling of freight transport takes place according to fixed rules. There are also different modes of transport for goods: part load traffic and complete wagon-load (in each case as freight and fast good traffic), express parcel, luggage. This provides many possibilities for not only indiscriminately sending freight wagons through a module arrangement in the model, but also imitating an exemplary freight traffic.

Freight transport in the Netherlands in the 1950s
In this article (published in Hp 1, 4th quarter 2006, p. 4ff), an attempt is made to explain how the freight traffic in the Netherlands in the years 1951 to 1960 expired. Already during the second world war, plans were developed by the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), which had far-reaching consequences for many railway installations and for the timetables drawn up for freight traffic. This system provides ideas on how to design freight traffic in FREMO. Read more (Unfortunately only in German language)
"Yellow Pages" and consignment notes
The "Yellow Pages" provide information on all goods offered at the operating sites within FREMO:87 to create consignment notes for domestic cargo.

Guide to select the proper freight wagons
"The freight car service has the task to supply the customers of the Deutsche Bundesbahn with goods wagons and loading devices. The customer can be convinced that the wagon service runs with the punctuality of a clockwork." (Deutsche Bundesbahn: Güterwagen Behälter Paletten Strassenroller Huckepackverkehr, Stand 1. Januar 1960, S. 3)
The guide was compiled on the basis of this advertising brochure of the Deutsche Bundesbahn published in 1960: (Unfortunately only in german language)
Literature on railway operations focus on freight traffic
The operation on the FREMO modular arrangements tries to map the railway operation of the prototype as accurately as possible. But where can the interested model railway enthusiast get the knowledge about the prototype? Read more (Unfortunately only in German language)
