From my experience researching freight cars from 1952 for my Erie Harlem Station layout, I came to the conclusion a lot of older wood cars were still in service. It was particularly true of reefers. My guesstimate would be that about a 50%-50% mix wouldn't be far from truth and would bring some diversity in the fleet.
