Per the data listed in "Descriptive Inventory of Cars Belonging to the Fitchburg Railroad June 30, 1900"
The following FRR cars were renumbered into this B&M Series starting in 1900 (Renumbering of all FRR cars was complete as of 8-1905)
Approx 26 cars renumbered to this series from Fitchburg RR 5001 series Stock cars
I don't know where the rest of the cars in this series (during 1901 and later) came from (Existing or new B&M cars?)

Discussion, General Notes

I believe these are (partly, if not entirely) existing cars (4000 series, FRR cars) being renumbered into a new series
B&MRRHS 1900-1907 Freight Car Lettering Book No. 1 (Reprint of B&M lettering diagrams)
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 diagram
The "Diagram number" refers to the circled number (lower right corner) in each diagram (the original page number)
