ORER Notes

• This series Has "*" indicating "Air Brakes" (1906-05 thru 1909-06)

Discussion, General Notes

• Per Tim Gilbert, the B&M started buying Pratt Patent "flat bottom coal cars" with the #6260-6799 series (540 cars) in 1899, with further purchases of the Pratt Patent cars in serveral series #6800-7480 in 1901-1902. These are NOT listed separately in the ORERs until 1903, so they are combined here with the original 6174-7999 cars. The individual Pratt car series were not split apart until 1907. It looks like the #7681 was not given its own series until 1910.
  Note: Tim referred to these as "Pratt Pattern" (the ORERs always used the ambiguous "Pat."). But in the B&M Acquisition books, they clearly state "Patent", so I am using that wording
• See the #6260 series for more info on the Pratt Patent
• From Eric Neubauer Laconia data, the following cars were built by Laconia:
  [also see ICC valuation data below]
  • 51 cars listed for series 7481-7522, 7601-7630, 7632-7650 in USRA valuation report, 6/30/1914 ("owned" by B&M)
  • 107 cars listed for series 7523-7567, 7569-7573, 7575-7600, 7651-7680 in USRA valuation report, 6/30/1914 ("owned" by B&L) (one number missing)
