This is a roster of all radial cars owned by the Cataract Company and its subsidiaries. Due to the poor records of the Cataract Company, some of the source information may be contradictory.
This roster is built assuming that cars were renumbered when the companies were bought by the Cataract Company. This may be not be true in all cases, and
renumberings may have occurred months or even years later. Radial names and numbers in bold refer to the Radial line before it was taken over by the Cataract
Company. For more on each railroad's fleet of cars, check the links below:
