The earliest cars used the pre-1905 lettering and numbering standards but were converted by 1909. Deliveries of 1905 and later for Lines East and West met the new standards. However, controlled lines CA&C and GR&I used the old lettering standards up to at least 1910.

The last KFs were built in 1912 with safety appliances as were some KFAs, both for Cumberland Valley. Cars were upgraded with safety appliances when shopped. Beginning about 1915 KFs were converted to KFAs. This process took until 1930 when the entire fleet consisted of KFAs. The cars lasted until 1937 when all fishbelly sidsill house cars were scrapped.
