That B&M 40 footer was probably spotted at Agway from their mill in Bernardston. I wish I knew who had the CV car. It was a run around car, pulled up from the Junction by 31, and grabbed by 18 to spot. Only places it could go would be Agway, Merrimack, Claremont Flock or on the house track.

I always thought that the name for your "transit car" was "trap car". It was a dedicated car used to deliver LCL cargo from a central distribution center (like Merrimack Farmers' Exchange) to subsidiary local distributors in the same company.
