All-

It is amazing that a NM-1 survived.  As stated previously, the carbody was put on a jury-built frame and wheels, but is otherwise pretty much pristine comparing the photos to the shot of #300.

I have a “General Description of 20 Ft 4 Wheel Waycar Built at Aurora in 1903

It shows “20 Cars Nos. 304 to 323 Inclusive” so by the time of renumbering the 315 must have been destroyed (early).

A note says: “1917, Only 7 Cars in Service Same renumbered to 14927, 14929, 14933, 14939-42”

This does not account for the 1906 and 1907 built cars of which I do not have the General Description sheet.

Some research into the State Railroad Commission or State Laws will have to be done to see if the rapid decline in numbers was due to legislation or maybe agreements with the Brotherhoods….
