There was a warning on the STMFC group about the website, but investigations
indicated that this was no longer a threat.
Hart coal/ballast car 71404 was part of 71400-71799 built by AC&F in 1906 (this
car is stencilled for Detroit 2/06), and they were
renumbered to 218500-218899 in 1909 as ballast cars. (Therefore no longer
shown in the Equipment Register) Some of these cars were
rebuilt with steel centre sills/underframe in (I think) 1910, and were classed
as MWB-3 or MW-4 for the rebuilds in the same year.
I have not been able to identify just how many were rebuilt.
There were 27 of these cars left in 1920, and just 7 in 1930, so I doubt that
they lasted just too much longer.
