Back in October 2005, there was a discussion about the FM-11B co-joined flat
cars coupled with an inner tie anchor and numbered 88000-88082, although the
ORER's only ever showed a maximum of 72 cars.
At the time, it was commented that "It is interesting that the uncoupling lock
design was borrowed from the CMStP&P. CB&Q had designed their own arrangement
for the 88073-88082, but didn't use it as the cars were cancelled." (What
happened to the 73rd car?)
I'm now wondering if that is correct as the diagram book data sheet (amendment
date 3/66) shows 88000-88082 as built at Havelock in 1963-64 and specifying
that a total number of 82 were built.
Conversely, if the cars were built, where did they go to?
