90000-90499 Class FM-7 built by AC&F in 1909 & 1910. Length over end
sills 40'6" with steel fish-belly. There were 362 in 1940 and only 67 in 1945.

Several years ago Red Caboose brought in some USRA design flats (that
were never built) in HO and lettered them CB&Q 90xxx. I suspect that is
what they did here.
