I would think the horse cars could go pretty much anywhere, but I don't know how often they would have been used. I believe they were used to move like race horses going to a race, or horse going to another state for stud. "Normal" horses, like horses used in logging, would have just been moved in stock cars.

  Hi good people.

  I was searching for a horse express car to add to the head end cars of my passenger equipment. This got me wondering what other railroads offered horse and Scenery express service? How far did they roam? I know the scenery cars went country wide, but did the horse cars to?
