ATSF flat class
|
Jim Eager
Although listed as D&RGW, I’m positive this is an ATSF mow flat set up to carry the ATSF Burro crane in the distance. My question is what was the original ATSF class for the flat? I suspect that it was an Ft-O but I’m not sure of it. Jim Eager |

The FT-O and FT-P were identical. This certainly looks like one with the 14 stack pockets, drop brake staff, three visible angles on the fishbelly underframe. The Santa Fe Open top book shows FT-O as WT-O for a crawler in MOW service. So your assessment seems appropriate.

Steve, it is an Ft-I or Ft-J. Charlie Slater

I believe this is a Ft-L class as pictured in Richard Hendrickson’s “SantaFe Open-Top Cars”. You are right this is a classic Santa Fe Flat.

OK, Ft-L it is then, Thanks all.

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. |

The flat car is either a Ft-I Built in 1910 or Ft-J Built in 1913 44 foot car.
Here are two photos of an Ft-I 190080 Built 9-1910 in Barstow Yard in 1993 and 1994.

The car in Jim's picture has 14 stake pockets ! It is either an Ft-P or similar car with 14 pockets. On 1/24/2023 1:54 PM, charles slater wrote:

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. Rich Christie

With all due respect, the car that I asked about does not match car 190080. It has fewer stake pockets (12 vs 14), the shape of the stake pockets themselves is different, and the drop sills lack the three vertical flanges. On the other hand, the photo Tim posted of Ft-P 90806 does match the car I asked about. I also found this car: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/atsf/atsf190618ags.jpg Jim Eager |

Also, the drop sill of the car in question, and the FtP, is clearly deeper than on Wt-I 190080, as it should be since the Ft-P was a longer car than the Ft-I/J.

That's cool. My Dad photographed this one (no idea of the class designation) ATSF 190198 in 1978 in Barstow. It has 13 stake pockets ! On 1/24/2023 7:59 PM, Jim Eager wrote:

The car in this photo is either a Ft-L or Ft-N easily identified by the two patch plates on the car side where Santa Fe stretched it. Sunshine Models made a kit for that car as well as the Ft-I and J and the
Ft-O and Ft-P. Counting the stake pockets will not identify all classes because some were changed over their service life.

The first flat car in M ow W paint with no car number is an Ft-O or Ft-P, you can tell by the ribs on the side sill. Sunshine Models made a kit for that one.

The two cars on this EMAIL are in Barstow Yard are either Ft-I of Ft-J. That is the car I measured to make the patterns for Sunshine.
