B&O 467000-467999 doesn't seem to work
according to the ORER dimensions. The B&O cars had Duryea u/f (42-11 over
strikers), the GNWR cars are 41-11 which suggests a fixed underframe. However,
some Duryea cushion cars were rebuilt with fixed sill. The best indicator in
this case is the location of the intermediate crossmember between the bolster
and door post. The "tab" under the side sill is very close to the side
sill reinforcement under the door quickly ruling out other options like
CNJ. So, I agree the GNWR series is a good match for B&O 467000-467999 which
is also illustrated at Fallen Flags
There is a good 3/4 shot of 100009 at Fallen Flags
incidently. Note that the train line bracket under the end sill extends pretty
far out, something typical of Duryea cars.
