[RITSlist] Commuter car question.

[Paul Hunnell]

The RI got 9 cars from the CNW in 1961.  
The RI never had combine versions of commuter coaches
(either their own or CNW); they used ex-mainline
service combines or baggage cars.  
They CNW's were identifiable in that the roof ends
were squared off instead of turtle-back like the
RI's.  I remember riding in them, and they were
different as they had baggage racks.  
The RI #'s were 2615-2623, exCNW 5061, 5083, 5090,
5095, 5096, 5100, 5102, 5104 and 5109.  
7 were sold to the NdeM (via Edwards International),
along with some original RI cars, in 1965 and
according to "official" NdeM records I have, were
numbered into the NdeM 4014(12?)-4036 range. 
However, I shot pictures of a couple of ex-original
RI commuter cars in Mexico *not* in this number
range, and also shot other cars in this # range that
were definitely NOT ex-RI, e.g., ex-PRR P70's.  So
the NdeM records are incorrect (not unlikely in
Mexico), or some later got renumbered for some
unknown reason.  Hope this helps.
