Larry,

I do not have exact date detail but there is a Western Maryland lettering summary noted on the website for my old South Elkins layout.

I think I combined lettering details from the WM Caboose book and Bill Oertly's hopper article from the Blue Mountain Express. I think this part was deduced from the BMX article:

"The Fast Freight Line emblem wasn't quite new with these cabooses. It was a slight modification of a circular emblem that began to be applied to new and rebuilt hopper cars in the early 1930's. This emblem was similar to the Fast Freight Line emblem, except the center was blank. The words Fast Freight Line were not used."

That's the best I can recall.
