- For some reason, this seems to be the only series of "Line Service" cars that were consistently also listed in the "Main" car series table?
- As the number of cars remained consistent for such a long period of time, I assume replacement cars were being made "as needed" (whether by attrition or to gradually upgrade the fleet to larger weight capacity)

Note the "Book page number" below refers to the page number in the B&MRRHS book.
As the B&MRRHS book's pages are NOT numbered, "1" is the first page with an actual diagram! (NOT the title pages or index pages)
"U" = upper diagram on that page, "L" = lower diagramThe "Diagram number" refers to the circled number (lower right corner) in each diagram (the original page number)

There is a reference to the Central States Despatch line in [Eric] Neubauer's book 'P&R Freight cars in the 19th century'.
He shows a drawing of the logo and says that 'there were 550 cars in this relatively small fast freight line:
B&M 13400 - 13499
CNJ 32908 - 33107
L&HR 2001 - 2100
P&R 10701 - 10800
WM 3001 - 3050.
