ORER Notes

Discussion, General Notes

Per Tim Gilbert
In 1906, the Concord shops produced a "jumbo" 34'-9" long 1,271 cu. ft. car, #7681, but the experiment was not repeated. Better designs to haul coal were available.

It looks like the #7681 was not given its own series until 1910, before that (if it was built?) it was included in the #6800-7999 series.
See the #6260 series for more info on the Pratt Patent
