“You ever buy anything from Goodneighbor or Diamond City? Odds are, it's been delivered by my men.”— Old Man Stockton
Old Man Stockton is a Bunker Hill-based caravan boss and Railroad operative in the Commonwealth in 2287.
Background[]
Stockton is the manager of a large caravan business operating out of Bunker Hill, running three caravan trade routes patrolled by Trashcan Carla, Lucas Miller and Cricket.[1] His caravan traders often man the Bunker Hill shop after hours.
His caravan routes run throughout the Commonwealth and are connected to major towns and settlements such as Diamond City, with a few of them also covering some small villages and farms.[2] In addition to being an operative for the Railroad, Stockton is also the caretaker for the large safehouse in the utility basement below Bunker Hill that is home to many escaped synths.

Notes[]
- Unlike other members of the Railroad, Old Man Stockton will not turn hostile should the Sole Survivor become an enemy of the Railroad.
- It is possible for Old Man Stockton to be killed on his way back to Bunker Hill from the Railroad mission Boston After Dark as his essential status gets removed soon after he delivers H2-22; there have been several reports of him turning up dead in front of the BADTFL regional office as his return path to Bunker Hill is through that place. To prevent him from being killed, clearing out the raiders outside BADTFL regional office before meeting Old Man Stockton at the church is recommended.
- If one initiates conversation with him enough times he will hand the player character a Nuka-Cola.
- Despite being a member of the Railroad, he unknowingly employs three (Cricket, Trashcan Carla, and Lucas Miller) secret informants for the Synth Retention Bureau. Somewhat ironically, none of the informants seem to be aware of Stockton's affiliation either.
- During Boston After Dark, Old Man Stockton will remark to a male player character that he was expecting "someone of the feminine persuasion." If the player character is female, he will remark that he was expecting "someone more heavily armed." He may have been referring to Glory.
Appearances[]
Old Man Stockton appears only in Fallout 4.
Bugs[]
If Covenant is visited for the first time after completion of the main questline, rescuing Amelia Stockton without activating the quest Human Error, may cause Old Man Stockton to spawn dead and naked. This is usually at Bunker Hill, but could be at another location, and with his weapons and clothing in his inventory.[verified]- If the player character attempts to steal anything during the quest Boston After Dark, Old Man Stockton will become hostile, making the quest unable to be completed. This will happen even if the item is stolen without being caught; although waiting long enough for Stockton to forgive the player character should resolve this.[verified]
