One of my tasks for today was to check the ATSF entry in a 1980s ORER I have. ATSF 90424-90429 are listed as 89 foot well cars (GWSR) for airplane parts, but they're listed as several different line items, which suggests what the photos also say, there are small differences among them. 90406 and 90407 are FMS cars for airplane parts only 50 feet 2 inches long, while 90432-90437 are FMS flat cars for airplane parts 53 feet 6 inches long. If anyone knows anything more. . .
A good shot of 90424 showing the ATSF lettering clearly is at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=894740">http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... ?id=894740</a><!-- m --> comments on that site say they were, at least at the time, for the C-5 program. Does anyone know if that program is still going?
