Renumberings/Conversions/Dispositions

See above - I believe ONE of these cars was renumbered from SC to B&M cars in the 1920s
In the 1942 freight car classification book on index page 3, it states:
These cars being renumbered to B&M series. About ⅓ done 10-29-1926

Per 1942 classification card for SC 580 series, back of previous page:
46840 renumbered from SC 506
