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 48 cars renumbered to this series from Fitchburg RR 18001 series Flat cars
Approx 95 cars renumbered to this series from Fitchburg RR 18101 series Flat cars

I don't know where the rest of the cars in this series came from (Existing or new B&M cars)

ORER Notes

• Has "*" indicating "Air Brakes" (1902-04 thru 1909-06)

Discussion, General Notes

• I believe these are existing cars (22000-23999) being renumbered into (2 or 3) new series
• From Eric Neubauer Laconia data, the following cars were built by Laconia:
  • 32466-32732 [with gaps] - built 1898 - possibly related to Laconia order 5 (300 gons & 200 flats), ordered 1-1898?
    Apparently 22000-23999 [with gaps] renumbered about 1900-1901.
    32434-32454 [with gaps], 32598 (6 cars), built Laconia 1898, listed in USRA valuation report, 6/30/1914
