Tim,
Yes they were. The earlier ones were built in 1942 at CB&Q
Galesburg.

The CB&Q cars' decks were 1'6" longer than the NP cars 52'0" decks, but it's close enough. :-)
The CB&Q series 92000-92399 were identical, were they not ? The ORER lists them all together as 92000-92799 - a huge class of flat cars!

CB&Q Series 92400-92799. FM. 53' 6" Steel Flat Car. Class FM-14A. Built 1952 by CB&Q Havelock.
I know someone who is looking for CB&Q decals that will do this car. He bought the resin kit at the St. Louis RPM this summer. He's been unsuccessful in finding any of the correct decals.

Not a steam era photo, but the press in this photo is obviously well used so probably dates from the steam era. It would
make a noteworthy load for a flat car. I think these CB&Q flats were nearly identical to the NP cars first offered in brass
from W&R, and then from Aaron Gjermundsen as Northern Scale Models, and then from Speedwitch.
