[Transcription of the handwritten notes:] [cont'd from CP.2006.CL.1-122 ZE] ...on any of this equipment, but I sure don't remember saying or even thinking that there was ever two #601, but I am not in position to prove that Mr. Silvus, or Bloss is not correct, even if I do think a little differently C.T. Dickenson 11/29/54 #10 | 1913 | (1st)#359 | 1922 | #601 *Questioned C.T. Dickenson 11/29/54 Express trailer 601 was converted to an express motor in 1915 using the elec. equipt and air brakes from 500 which was damaged by fire. The damaged body was rebuilt, converted to express trailer and renumbered 621 W Silvus 1/23/55 I just cannot remember any other (express cars in the original order) except 600 & 601. But as others say there were two more, perhaps it could have been correct; and later two of them changed to perhaps 609 and 60(?). I have thought many times that 609 had the ear marks of a factory built car. ~~~ I handled both 600 and 601 on June 19th 1915 on Corsicana Div. C.T.
