ORER Notes

Discussion, General Notes

• Per NEB&W Guide IV

  Ex D&H double hoppers, built 1966

• per B&MRRHS Modeler's Notes #39

  Ex D&H 241-265 [note that is room for 24 cars...the B&M had at least 55 - should range be 241-365?]

• per B&MRRHS Modeler's Notes #37

  Some were in service with BM reporting marks prior to the initial "1" digit being added

• Mike Clements email (24-Feb-2022) confirms these were ex-D&H cars
• Freight Car Journal Vol 1 #3
  Indicates the D&H 101-240 series (1947 cu ft, built 1965) were different cars than D&H 241-365 (1844 cu ft, built 3/1966)

STB Recordation Data

  MEC equipment omitted from this list [also omitting car list of BM cars not in this car series]

Paint Schemes

As Received - gray/yellow?

After purchase, it appears the B&M never repainted these cars, they just changed the reporting marks.
Paint was left as grey (yellow? - hard to tell with all the weathering), with the "DELAWARE & HUDSON" spelled out on the car side (and "shield?" herald)

As Received - "dark"

Some (e.g. 1308) were ?black? (faded "box car red/brown"?) with D&H "Shield?" herald
