"If one picked say this paritcular year, I wonder what the percentage of loaded stock cars would be compared to the rest of the freight? JP"
A quick glance at the annual report for the year 1950 showed the stock percentage as 1.80. Of course that included standard gauge and narrow gauge combined. The annual report for 1947 did not reflect those type of figures.

I jumped the gun. Looking at the annual report for 1944 it shows the stock percetage as 2.32. Again, combines the standard and narrow gauge. Also includes, all types of stock, and products, such as processed meats, eggs, butter, etc.
