Bulletin 15 had drawings of the FM-14 complete with 15 stake pockets. Also the Bomber Box that was put on them shows 69 built. of interest is the angle afixed to the side beam that held the ends of the floor boards as the floor extended to the outside of the stake pockets the full 10 ft. 6 inch. Only one stock container was built Bulletin No. 25 and used on a FM-14A Flat 92477 It seems to have been more trouble then it was worth only lasting about 5 years as too tall for loading and unloading.

The flatcar I was talking about is the earlier 52'0" long FM-12 nos. 89000-89100, built in 1938. As far as my information goes the first FM-14 cars (92000-92349) were built in 1942Ben de Vries
