ORER Notes

Discussion, General Notes

  • Guessing - it *may* be that these cars were merged into the B&M N&CV line 01001-01620 series

Paint Schemes

Per posting in Early Rail Modeling (EarlyRail@groups.io) group
Argus & Patriot (Montpeliar, NH) 1/11/1882:
St. Albans shops (Central Vermont) building a number of freight cars for the new line between Montreal and Boston, 33' long, painted a light green and lettered in yellow "Northern Central Vt. Line" on one end and on the other "Central Vermont"
The Lowell and Northern roads are also building cars of the same description for their part of the compliment
