STDR | 245-254 | 20'8" OB | Lord Baltimore | American Car Co. | ON 637 | 28 Mar. 1906 | 10 cars 4'8½" |
STDR | 290-299 | 20'8" OB | Lord Baltimore | American Car Co. | ON 637 | 28 Mar. 1906 | 10 cars 5'2½" |
A split order, FB&D design, identical cars except for gauge
difference. 4'8½" cars for the standard gauge former NO&C lines
(St. Charles-Tulane Belts, Jackson-(North) Claiborne Lines).
(See p. h.)
Cars weighed, plus trucks w/o motors, 14,000#, 7'7" WH base, 33" WH, 4" axles, 2-40 hp. motors. P - N. Std. gau. cars' numbers conflicted with J&S cars, no problem as cars couldn't use 5'2½" lines. The 400s arrival in 1915 made the 10 cars, along with other FB&D std. cars, surplus. Many were RG for service on 5'2½" lines while the J&S cars that conflicted were REN (see p. p). All RB min-late teens to “fishbelly” sides & Herr fenders. |
The American 1906 split order for 5'2½" gauge lines, 10 cars,
Lord Baltimore truck. — Louis Hennick Collection of The Historic New Orleans Collection
At Carrollton Station on Jeanette St., another “fishbelly” rebuild of an
FB&D from American Car Co., ON 637 of 1906 — one of the 5'2½" gauge
cars. Lord Baltimore truck. Carrollton Station was primarily standard
(4'8½") gauge, but had some dual-gauge trackage by the teens which opened
the shops for rebuilding and repairing of any cars.
See S p. 210 for track map showing “double gauge” track.

STDR | 325-354 | 20'8" OB | Lord Baltimore | McGuire-Cummings Mfg. Co. | ON —— | 1908 | 30 cars 5'2½" |
These were the last FB&D types bought for N. O. service.
Again typically well built, dependable, long lasting cars. The FB&D's
total was 217 cars for N. O., the largest single type used in service there,
more than the DTDR Brills of 1893-95 or even the 800-972 class. However,
Perley Thomas did design more cars for N. O. (243 DTAR, three diff.
types) than FB&D (26 cars fewer).
Note the std. gau. cars also conflicted with the J&S numbers, resolved by the REN — also solved was the number conflict betw. these and the American Car Co. DTDR semiconvertibles ON 643 of 2 May 06 (p. t). Five of these cars REN (350-354 to 320-324) so that Prytania cars 400-404 could in turn be REN to make room for an order of new DTAR cars, which became the Southern Car Co. 400s. P - N, P - DP 10/8/08 p. 11, arriving cars — 5 for PA, 2 for VI “which also had bad cars”, 3 for BSJ, 2 for DCT — 12 “here so far” (11 in sight on RR flat cars, loc. unk., poss. Melpomene & Washington, or New Basin Shell Road). RB elim. waist & rocker panels, P - S p. 124, car 341. |
Another split order, from McGuire-Cummings in 1908, 35 cars (5 for 4'8½"
NO&C lines, 30 for 5'2½" lines), Ford Bacon & Davis design,
the last of this type ordered for N. O. This photo from page 328 of a
McGuire catalog shows the car on a 19-A “Columbian” truck, a widely used truck
McGuire manufactured. NOR&L and NOPSI records of the late teens and
1920s, however, state that the McGuire cars were using the Lord Baltimore
truck. NOPSI had good performance from the Lord Baltimore trucks, and
re-trucked many ST cars with them.
