A railroad stock car, often simply referred to as a "stock car," is a type of rail vehicle designed for transporting livestock, primarily cattle, over long distances. These cars were an essential part of the transportation infrastructure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, serving the needs of the livestock industry.
Key features of a typical railroad stock car include:
While stock cars were widely used in the past, the transportation of livestock by rail has significantly decreased in modern times due to advancements in trucking and changes in the livestock industry. Many railroads have transitioned to other types of freight transportation, and stock cars are now more commonly seen in museums, historical exhibits, or in nostalgic settings that pay tribute to the history of rail transportation.

MTH makes an enormous variety of RailKing Freight Cars, including many different car types and roadnames.
