Intresting stock cars...................and a "mystery man" on top in the one photo ( )

Of course, I could say something smartAlek here about the guy ("hobo"? / worker?) on the boxcar roof, wearing his Buster Keaton-type hat, but I'm going to pass up the temptation. Nice, huh.

OMG , that's amazing because it wasn't just the hat that seemed Keaton-esgue; it was his whole affect and tilt as he is seen progressing along the roof.
Nice. I enjoyed that.

Yes. What type of cars are these? I don't recall hatches on stock cars but I haven't seen everything.

Indeed - those cars in the 1st photo saw double duty as stock cars during that season and coke cars in the off season. In the 2nd photo those were for adding feed.

That one is going to be a little hard to explain to the dispatcher!
Seriously it almost appears to have been placed there (except for the presence of the tender), notice the lack of major damage to the gondola.
