[CBQ] FW&D flats

["Rupert and Maureen" <gamlenz@ihug.co.nz>]

Listers

In the early 50's, FW&D purchased 36 x FM-14/14A flat cars (89100-89599 series) 
from CB&Q and renumbered them to 641-676.  The first six were shown on the 
roster in October 1951, with bulkheads for plaster board loading. 

By October 1955, 30 cars numbered 641-670 are shown as being for plaster board 
loading (inside length indicates that they were fitted with bulkheads) and six 
car numbered 671-6 listed as 53' 6" flats.  Can anyone identify when any of 
these were transferred to FW&D? 

In the July 1956 ORER, nine more 53' 6" flats had been added with a single 
combined number series of  671-685, inferring that they were identical to the 
first six.  Were these nine cars also ex-CB&Q?

Any suggestions or leads to other FW&D information sources would be appreciated.
