Alan's roster shows this group survives intact to NS ownership, probably with original numbers, but most of the 8 ton cars do not make it to NWP.
Alan includes a boxcar 5. Its number sequence doesn't work, and it is way too heavy for a boxcar
Alan also includes 33 cars numbered 88 to 94, then unknown, and 18 cars used from SPC. SPC records show 50 cars sold to NS.
Flatcars
All numbers odd only.
Numbers are an informed guess
Car counts are based primarily on news reports, and are suspect.
