ex- B&M 5520 series- Also.. Something "funky" is going on with these cars, some are listed (repeatedly) as 4780 Cu. Ft., some are 2003 cu. ft., yet dimensions are the same????
The STB (and ICC earlier) has records about car leases. For this car series, the following are available (copied from The STB web site)
- 26444 05-Jul-2006 - Security Agreement (?)
Looks like they got really "creative" on the builders of many of these cars

- 9 Pullman 70 ton covered hoppers BM 2750-2758
- 26444A 9-Apr-2009 - termination of security interest
