Re: Gun Flats
Paul,
The photo of MC&CL #104 sure looks like a PRR 30' flat car. The shape
of the side sills is right, as are the number and spacing of the stake
pockets. The trucks also appear to be PRR Class

rebuilt from box car underframes - FXL. I don't know of

Re: PRR Converted Flatcars (was Gun Flats)
Byron Rose asked:
Didn't the Pennsy also use "FG" classes for flat cars built from
gons? Or was it GF for gons built from flat cars? Or all of above?
None?
Several pictures of PRR MOW equipment

There's a problem with a PRR F23 being acquired by the MC&CL before

Regarding the trucks on PRR Class F22 and F23 flat cars, I agree with

there was no such class as 2DF4. PRR

The recent post (which I deleted in error please excuse me) I believe sed UP
did not load Utah coal in the 50's. But it did haul Utah Coal, loaded on
the Utah Ry, to Southern California for steel
