Most issues of Transfer contain a section for errata and for further information on topics covered previously. Also noted are these, that were not in errata sections:

2417: NYC No. 30 not scrapped in 1961 but 1969 (see 2603)

3521: The Pennsy issue with the article was Nov. 1, 1966, not 1996 (3602)

3810: 6th item under Letters should be headed "Plans of Wooden Barges" not Carfloats

4204 etc.: see many corrections to table of Transfer Bridges on p.4328

4303 (summary of Brooklyn's Waterfront Railroads): under No.1, the connection with the Bay Ridge Branch has been used a great deal since NY Cross Harbor RR took over the operation; under No. 3, the Atlantic Ave. float bridge is now gone, due to new construction; under No. 6, remove phrase "almost all built between 1905 and 1920"; under no. 10, the sugar refiner was Havemeyer, not Havermeyer.
