Where did you see the picture? If it's online a link would help.

I don't have my reference material at work but that number sounds
like it's one of the c 1928 cars built for the Central Vermont and
GTW. It might be a CV car that was transferred to the GTW.

Ed Beaudette did an article in MR a few years ago that included
prototype drawings of the CV/GTW 1-1/2 door as built cars (CV's 41000-
series). Not sure about the accuracy of the Mainline drawings Dennis
referred to but I do know the drawings in MR were based on prototype
drawings and confirmed with field measurements of three surviving
cars.
