So what ever became of Richard Hosker and the Freightcars List?
A simple search of my archives of this list did not turn up anything. The last message I received from FC was from Tom Stolte April Fools day 2007. The first message I have from STMFC, that I have not deleted, is from August 31, 2000. My friend who turned me onto the FC list drifted over to the Modern Freightcar list.
