Application Notes: Going into the 1937 merger, the D&IR owned 40-foot double-sheathed boxcars and the DM&N owned 40-foot outside braced boxcars. The herald was applied to the double-sheathed cars, but owing to the bracing, the herald did not fit on the DM&N cars, and was not applied.

The D&IR cars were classed P1, in series 3200. The DM&N cars were classed P2, in the 3300 series.
