ORER Notes

Discussion, General Notes

I'm not sure why the 6000 series cars never had a count, until it was the "combined" count with the 8200 series cars
Speculating, they originally assigned xsome cars the 6000 series numbers, then found a conflict, and had to change to the 8200 series instead????
