50 is thought to have been built by St. Louis Car in 1902, Order #283, as one of the cars in Inter-Urban Ry series 100 thru 102.
51 was apparently from the same group of cars.
52 also was apparently from the same group of cars. The plow was added in 1940.
57 was apparently built in the company shops.
58 was similar.
59 was built in the company shops.
60 was built by McGuire-Cummings in 1912.
62 was built in the company shops.
64 was built by Differential Steel Car probably in 1923.
70 was built in the company shops.
73 was built in the company shops.
83 was built by McGuire-Cummings around 1912.
Some of the cars in the 310 thru 324 series, which were built by American Car in 1913, Order #975, were converted to snow flangers.
329 seems to be of the same type car, but it is not in my roster.
1800 was probably rebuilt by Inter-Urban Ry at an unknown date from an earlier locomotive number 1 "Jim Brenton". It was renumbered from 800 to 1800 in 1922 and transferred to DMRy at some later date. Additional weight was added with car axles.
