There is a spreadsheet on the BRHS website at 
http://www.burlingtonroute.com/docs/rosters/motorcars.html showing the 
numbering and 
re-numbering of the motor cars.  You'll see that cars were grouped by their 
various designs (e.g. passenger/baggage, baggage/mail 
cars, etc.)  with three digit numbers.

In 1930, all the motor cars were renumbered by adding a "9" in front of the 
number, and subsequent purchases had 9xxx numbers. Some 
cars were also rebuilt resulting in other number changes.
