The original SP cars were transferred to the T&NO in the 1950's mixed with B-50-29's as T&NO 62250-62999 & 63500-64249. They were renumbered back to their original numbers in the early 1960's as the T&NO was absorbed into the parent SP.

For more information on these cars, see the February and March 1993 issues of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine for an in depth article by Tony Thompson. Also, see the Spring 2000 (No. 63) issue of the SPH&TS publication Trainline for a review by Tony Thompson of Sunshine kits for the B-50-27 and -28 classes.
