Scope & Content |
This section includes notes about cars 600 thru 607 and 610 within the 600 series. The notes are handwritten on the back of recycled paper. [Transcription of the handwritten notes:] [cont'd from CP.2006.CL.1-122 ZC] I have never figured out what became of 600. C. T. Dickenson 2/4/54 The roof of 506 was painted aluminum C. T. Dickenson 2/16/54 Think Mathis is wrong about 509 coming from trailer but I can't prove he is wrong ~~~ 509 was built from floor up at Monroe and was not as long as 602 - 605 - 507 or 508. 607 and 610 were longer than 509 also. C. T. Dickenson 3/4/54 I just can't go along with the idea that there were two #601. I think that the original 601 wont thru until the end in 1948. C. T. Dickenson 3/18/54 I just can't give you the dope that you asked for in regard to the change of numbers and the rebuilding of trail cars in the 600 series, I'm not saying there was never two 601 or two 603 or 604, but it is not clear to me, I think that I will ask Mr. Bloss about this, I am just blank on these trail cars with the exceptions of 600 - 601 - 602 - (605 - 554) and 650 ~~~ Of course the coach top style was changed on 602 and 606 and I think 605. C. T. Dickenson 3/22/54 You are right, I meant to say 550 and not 650 C. T. Dickenson 3/30/54 [cont'd in CP.2006.CL.1-122 ZE] |
