This section includes notes about car 11 / 360 within the 350-399 series. The notes are handwritten on the back of recycled paper. [Transcription of the handwritten notes:] Passenger Coach Motor #11 - #360 and Passenger Coach-R.P.O. Combine Motor #360 Texas Traction Company in 1911, purchased three new 600 volt, "Limited Type", two-man passenger coach motors from American Car Company, of which #11 was one. In 1913 this car, #11, was renumbered #360, in accordance with the combined numbering scheme of Southern Traction Company and Texas Traction Company (integrated with both companies), and was assigned the same tasks as formerly. In 1917 this car, #360, was transferred to the then formed Texas Electric Railway, where it continued as the same type, bearing the same number, and was assigned the same tasks as formerly given it by Texas Traction Company. Whether this car, #360, was ever converted to a 600 volt one man passenger coach motor is not known. This car, #360, was used as a 600 volt passenger coach motor by Texas Electric Railway until, at some unknown date (approxmataly 1934), it was withdrawn from service, rebuilt with mail handling equipment added, after which it was returned to service as a 600 volt passenger coach-R.P.O. combine motor bearing the same number of formanly. This car, #360, was used as a 600 volt passenger coach-R.P.O. combine motor until the final days of Texas Electric Railway Company in 1948, at which time it was withdrawn from service and dismantled.
