They retained their original numbers. 308 6/1909 - 1914 312 12/1907 - 1911 314 4/1911 - 5/1913 319 ???? - 5/1913 323 4/1911 - 5/1913 333 1909 - 1/1913 334 1909 - 5/1913 335 1909 - 5/1913 603 12/1907 - 5/1911 South Baltimore Car Works South Baltimore Car and Foundry Co. South Baltimore Steel Car and Foundry Co., Inc. From the Maryland Historical Society - The above companies, which built cars for the M&PA RR, were sold to William H.
