The flat cars in question were the 30' captured end beam cars used by CP/UP/V&T/etc.

Take a look at this post: Early UPRR Flat Cars

Curtis,

I agree.

Last night I was able to get a high res copy of one of the CP coach photographs I needed. I will have an illustration in the future. I will also have the early UP lettering finished soon for your revised flat car.

I picked this up locally, there are no notes on the back to identify where it was taken. My suspicion was maybe this is the incline from the mine down to the Patterson & Western.

These posts are about virtual modeling (Trainz) and models that ...

Norm, I've started nagging Curtis about working on some appropriate rolling stock. The flat car he was reworking last year can be used to make many of those early cars in the photos. Even the early boxcars are using the same flat car design as a frame and a body built on top. If you look at the ends...
