Per the data listed in "Descriptive Inventory of Cars Belonging to the Fitchburg Railroad June 30, 1900"
The following FRR cars were renumbered into this B&M Series starting in 1900 (Renumbering of all FRR cars was complete as of 8-1905)
Approx 1 car renumbered to this series from Fitchburg RR 8525 series Box cars
Approx 2 cars renumbered to this series from Fitchburg RR 8671 series Box cars
Approx 1 car renumbered to this series from Fitchburg RR 24001 series Box cars

I am unsure where the rest of the cars came from (existing or new B&M cars)

Discussion, General Notes

• From Eric Neubauer Laconia data, the following cars were listed as being built by Laconia
  44000-44198 (60,000 lbs, WUF, built 1895-1896)
  but those numbers don't show up in the ORER until 1901??
• B&MRRHS 1900-1907 Freight Car Lettering Book No. 1 (Reprint of B&M lettering diagrams)

  Note the "Book page number" below refers to the page number in the B&MRRHS book.

  "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)
