All-Time Roster of Equipment

This list is meant to serve as the most complete list of known H&F and predecessor equipment available and has been compiled from multiple sources, including but not limited to company shop records, photographic and journalistic records and Blue Ridge Trolley by Herbert H. Harwood Jr.  As many early records no longer exist, this is not a complete list and we add cars as we learn of them. Contributions of information regarding pieces or information missing from this list are welcome.
