[Transcription of the handwritten notes:] Express Trail Cars #613 - #614 - #615 Interviews Baggage trailers 613, 614, & 615 were originally N end passenger cars. Numbers 613, 614 & 615 were constructed from N end passenger motors. Ends were cut off to shorten overhang beyond trucks in order to ease negotiation of sharp curves W. E. Sturges 6/12/51 #615 burned down in the early '40s and was not rebuilt. All 600 series cars except #616 and #615 were in use at the time of abandonment Possibly #s 355, 356 & 357 became #s 613, 614 & 615 Trucks were moved closer and extra overhang was cut off. W. E. Sturges 7/9/51 |
