[CBQ] NP lease flat cars

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

I'm trying to find out more about three groups of flat cars that were leased to 
or from the NP by the CB&Q.

My query relates to 
a) 7 cars from series 92000-92349 (FM-14) built in 1942 and leased to NP
b) 10 cars from series 92400-92799 (FM-14A) built in 1952 and leased to NP
c) 17 car leased from NP in 1964/5, renumbered to CB&Q 88500-88516 

Judging by the ORER totals, it appears that the lease of groups (a) and (b) 
also took place in 1964, so I suspect that it was an "arranged swap", 
especially as 17 is an unusual number! Could they have been "leased" as 
compensation following a crash? 

Can anyone provide any information about the NP cars - they don't appear in the 
diagram books - or offer any other reasons for the exchange.

Thanks
