- 3 bay offset sides, rebuilt for woodchip service
- per B&MRRHS Modeler's Notes #39
Ex-7300 series cars- [KGA: There is an appropriate drop in 7300 series cars for the first 10 in 1963.
But there is no drop in 7300 series cars to account for the additional 8 in 1964.
There *might* be a drop in the 7400 (ex-8000?) series cars (1965), or possibly some other source was used.
- As rebuilt
- black, blue/white intertwined "BM" herald (large) (centered on side), large lettering "WOODCHIP SERVICE RETURN TO WOODSVILLE, NH"
