Re: ATSF flat class
Tim, 14 stake pockets is not necessarily the spotting feature! Some of the same series of flats have only 12 stake pockets. This is mentioned and evidenced by photos in the Santa Fe HS book. Sorry don't have it handy.

Here are two photos of an Ft-I 190080 Built 9-1910 in
Barstow Yard in 1993 and 1994.

Tim 'O sent me a
photo of an Ft-L converted to TOFC service and it is
definitely not a good match.
Guess I'll need to track down photos of the other suggested classes to make sure for myself.
