ORER Notes

Discussion, General Notes

• This series NEVER gets "*" indicating "Air Brakes" (1902-04 thru 1909-06)
• I believe these are existing cars (22000-23999) being renumbered into (2 or 3) new series
• 7/1901 split - I don't know if cars were already divided this way, or if cars had to be renumbered to match the new series
• 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.
  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)
