Was rummaging thru an 1898 Official Equipment Register and gleaned the 
following for those of you who model the real "old" days or want something 
in a junk yard or sitting on the ground as a storage "building" decades 
later:

There were 3 hearse cars (modified 30' box cars) #10000-10002

There were also 2 special box cars (dimensions not given) modified for gun 
powder - #1 & 2

Stock cars included "Palace", horse and double deck.

Among the coal cars (gons) were 2 for Harvey Iron Co. - #80501 & 80502

Reefers included Ayers, Keystone, Hamilton, Wickes, Zimmerman & Tiffany 
models and 6 "Baggage & Fruit" cars #40015-40020

One passenger car was listed in "freight" as was a grain car fitted with 
bunks = #2733 (a box car number series)

Box cars - the following 34' in the 18000-21505 and 25000-28521 were also 
lettered for R. T. Davis Milling Co. of St. Joe, MO: #18040, 18946, 20095, 
20192, 20195, 20317, 25973 to 26002 inclusive - a total of 36.  KCStJ&CB 
also had cars marked for Davis Milling: 800, 852, 940, 1374, 1442 & 1496.

CB&KC had some flats 1, 3, 5 & 7 lettered for Pfeiffer Stone (assume was for 
cut rock, maybe granite?) and 20 ton coal cars lettered for Hannibal 
Transfer Co. - #101-157  (any idea Archie?)

The only frt cars 36' & overat the time were 188 40' furniture cars among 
the affiliated lines & 383 on the Q which also had thirteen 36' stock cars, 
three 50' horse cars (8009, 8012 & 8036) and one 36'  woodenware (#2800).  I 
recall Bernie Corbin showing me a fuzzy photo of one and was simliar to the 
Menasha Woodenware car done by one of the obscure HO craft kit firms years & 
years ago.
