Re: [CBQ] Date of "Burlington Route" emblem?

The heading for the column containing 77300-77741 is labelled “renumbered from”. Therefore 78200-78699 were renumbered from 77300-77741.

I didn’t mention 37300-37799, so no confusion here. I wrote 77300-77741 from the third column to the right after 78200-78699. So were the 78200-78699 cars renumbered or not? Apparently 78556 wasn’t, and as Hol mentioned, has a reweigh date of 12-40. I think the 77300-77741 entry in the column referenced above is an error, and they were not renumbered as indicated in the second column after 78200-78699.

I haven’t researched the first use of the tri-colour herald so perhaps someone else know that answer.

 

As regards the car in your photo, I think you have the dates confused. 37300-37799 were built in 1909 by AC&F, renumbered to 77300-77741 in 1926 when BREX was established and then to 78200-78699 in 1927-8. The last renumbering was probably when they were rebuilt with steel underframes, etc.
