The only cars which were home-road-only would be the RPOs, and any crew-rider cars. (The only common exception I can think of was the jointly-operated "City of San Fransisco", which pooled RPOs from SP, UP and CNW--later MILW--on the Chicago-San Fransisco RPO route). Otherwise, foreign road cars will be appropriate. And don't forget express reefers, most of which probably will be REA. The Santa Fe modelers' & historical group published a great article on ATSF's Fast Mail trains, including mail & express car routings and lists and photos of cars typically found in those trains over the years.
