Note: Up to 8/1908 there was a 12450-12599 series (continuing in 9/1908 as 12485-12599)
I am unsure if the 12423-12484 were included in that series,
or if 12423-12484 are new cars and the "conflicting" 12450 series cars were either not existing,
or renumbered to clear out 12450-12484 for this series.
The car counts and dimensions seem to indicate the former, but are not conclusive.

ORER History
ORER Date (Year-Mo.)	Car Numbers	# of Cars	Description
Note: Up to 8/1908 there was a 12450-12599 series (continuing in 9/1908 as 12485-12599) I am unsure if the 12423-12484 were included in that series, or if 12423-12484 are new cars and the "conflicting" 12450 series cars were either not existing, or renumbered to clear out 12450-12484 for this series. The car counts and dimensions seem to indicate the former, but are not conclusive.

Discussion, General Notes

Per Tim Gilbert
For Tim Gilbert's notes on this series, see here
Additional notes from Tim for these specific series:
Lot 6 [car series #12423-12484] had their end doors sealed after 1926
[car series #12300-12399] had their end doors sealed in the late 1920s, reclassified as "XM"

For more details on the Mogul ends, see here
As shown above, this "series" was actually 2 different orders:

12423-12484 - 62(?) cars (possibly more than 1 order?)
12300-12399 - 100 cars.
While initially listed together, by 1930 they were split into separate listings
By 7/1935, the 12423-12484 cars appear to have been retired.
From Eric Neubauer Laconia data, the following cars were listed in the USRA valuation report, 6/30/1914:

Note the "Book page number" below refers to the page number in the B&MRRHS book.
As the B&MRRHS book's pages are NOT numbered, "1" is the first page with an actual diagram! (NOT the title pages or index pages)
"U" = upper diagram on that page, "L" = lower diagram
The "Diagram number" refers to the circled number (lower right corner) in each diagram (the original page number)
