[CBQ] FM-10 flats

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

Just continuing the subject of the FM-10 flats (ex XM-12 boxes)

According to the ORER's, these cars suddenly shrunk in size between 1934 and 
1935.  They were recorded as 41' 6 3/4" long and 9' 1 1/2" wide but slimmed 
down to 38' 8" long and 8' 11" wide.  

This was the year when the standard measurements of all freight cars were 
changing (especially outside length) so this may be just a statistical change.
