al.kresse <water.kresse@...> #162851 Not sure now but the C&O may have swapped some six-axle flats with the NYC. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On March 11, 2019 at 8:41 PM Garth Groff <sarahsan@...> wrote: Claus, I wish we could see the whole number. In 1958, C&O had eight well flat cars. Cars numbered 80975 and 80977-80979 were 52' 8" overall. Cars 80996-80999 were 62' 6" overall. Both groups rode on 6 -wheel trucks and had a capacity of 250,000 pounds. These cars are not shown in Carl Shaver's FREIGHT CAR EQUIPMENT OF THE CHESAPEAKE & OHIO RAILWAY, AUGUST 1, 1937 (revised ed., 1989). When they were built is a mystery, but the photo in question is dated 1951.
