Something else to keep in mind with stockcars is that they were often used for things other than stock "off season" I've seen everything from railroad ties to watermelons listed. I use this as justification for running more of them on my layout than the stock traffic warrants. You know...'cus they're cool!

Stock Cars - Whatever New England live stock was slaughtered was
brought
to the slaughter houses by truck. Therefore, any stock cars seen in New England were carrying livestock from outside New England in cars owned primarily by roads upon which the loads were originated.
