GC's 70-ton wood chip hoppers, built in 1963 in the series 151-250, were renumbered into Southern's 132500-132597 series sometime after SR took over. Might anyone have any information concerning the renumbering of these cars? Any information about when the renumbering occurred? From what I can tell, the renumbering was not done sequentially, but rather randomly. Some cars were never renumbered. I would like to be able to identify the original number of individual cars. Any help would be appreciated.
