* Cars are listed by their post 1946-47 number first and prewar number second. In all but one case these numbers have checked out in field when able to cross reference them.
** Most of the cars listed above are Carter Brothers built for either the Oregonian Railroad or the SPC. Most cars were transferred to N&C in 1904-05 to handle traffic needs
of Tonopah gold rush but not officially transferred on paper until 1906-07.
***Many thanks to Wendell Huffman of the Nevada State Railroad Museum for all the photos and information he's sent me.
**** Special thanks to Randy Babcock for numerous photos, much info and his continuing active participation.
***** Many of the pictures of cars which no longer exist were clipped from photos in Joe Dale Morris' book "Slim Princess in the Sunset; 1940-1960"
****** Red number means car has been scrapped.
