This section includes notes about cars 613 through 615 within the 600 series. The notes are handwritten on the back of recycled paper. [Transcription of the handwritten notes:] Express Trail Car #615 613 - 614 #615 possibly burned at McKinney, Burned in latter '30s. Sat on sand pit track at Monroe as a skeleton for a long period. They (changed) #356-357 and I think 358 into trailers #613 - 614 - 615 W.E. Sturges Jan/13/50 I think Sturges is a little mixed up about the trailers #613 - 614 - 615. 359 was made into an express trailer after Brisco was killed. They never had a pass[enger] car 350 until about this time. One of the cars was changed to 350, perhaps it was 358. The 356 was made into freight motor 600 Volt, Class C, perhaps the 951. C. T. Dickenson 1/13/50 To #607 - #612 inc[lusive] 609 was the same arrangements - ½ refrigerator and ½ trailer. This was to accommodate the Kraft Cheese Co. of Dennison. C.T. Dickenson 6/19/52 To #607 - #612 inc[lusive] Cannot give dates that 606 - 609 were converted to refrigerators.
