Very good point. If you look at the ICC valuation photos (generally from 1917-1919) you will see many stock pens in eastern and midwestern towns. For example, the Toledo & Ohio Central (NYC) valuation photos at the Allen County Historical Museum in Lima, Ohio show stock pens in every town on the line - some towns must have had more cattle held in them than there were people. At first, I thought I was looking at western photos until the Ohio and West Virginia details became apparent. This museum also has the Michigan Central valuation photos - I can't recall the other lines that they have.
