I don't recall any stocking points other than Hoboken but do recall the  
Conductor handing off notes at Greenville Station from the Dining Car  Porter 
saying:  "Need 10 dozen eggs, 6 loaves of bread and four gallons of  milk at 
Youngstown"
 
Those type messages were usually when trains were running quite late or  
during periods of heavy travel, such as pre-Thanksgiving, etc.  I don't  recall 
how the order was handled at Youngstown but think perhaps a baggage  handler 
would run to the local A&P (few blocks away at that time) and use  ticket counter 
cash.
