Possible renumbering of IC 170001-175000 boxcars

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some information regarding possible renumbering of
some Illnois Central bocxars, series 170001-175000. These are 40ft
single sheathed boxcars with fishbelly underframes and composite ends.
They were built 1914-1915. There is a photo on the pay side of the
NEB&W website:

sheathed/T-M-7-panel-Howe/XM-ss-TM-type-IC-1919-cyc.jpg

The NEB&W site lists these cars as off the roster by 1949. Is it
possible that these cars were still on the roster at that time, but
under a different number series?

Thanks,
Mark Heiden
