General Arrangement Drawing

General arrangement drawing from Portec.
Unfortunately it appears to be a "C" size drawing shrunk down to "A" size, so many dimensions are at the edge of legibility
Scanned at 800 DPI (1200 or 2400 DPI did not seem to improve legibility)

ORER Notes

Discussion, General Notes

• For cement, lime and abrasive service (B&MRRHS Modelers Notes No 18.)
• Per notes on Railroad Picture Archives web site, many of these are now renumbered to AMIX 3000-3043 series
• Per Mike Clements email 24-Feb-2022, these cars were sold in 2012
• From a Mike Clements note on groups.io / MFCL list (13-Aug-2022)

  The B&M 5200s were staples on the B&M-Guilford-Pan Am in cement service.
  Initially Thomaston ME to Wilmington, MA and later Delson, PQ to Lunenburg, MA.
  We wound up selling them into frac sand service at the top of that market for more than they were purchased for off of lease 15-20 years prior.

Paint Schemes

As delivered

Blue body (including hoppers), black trucks. Blue darker than normal B&M blue, but faded to match. White "Boston & Maine" spelled out (1 line) across top of side.
Spaced out (vertical lines are ribs / border is car ends)

I believe COTS was factory applied (2 blocks, side by side, each a separate panel).
Pretty much, by 2000 or so (if not earlier), every car had some (or lots) of load material running down car side
Built with low brake wheel and ladders
Roofwalks "galvanized" (not painted blue)
Roofwalk corner grabs "safety yellow"

Above from photos and B&MRRHS Modelers Notes #21 - which has all lettering drawn out.

Per B&MRRHS Modelers Notes #18 (1990), roof is "light tan" (?looks blue to me in photos?)
