Flat car MW 0412 (?)


 

Just picked up. Not sure on the number...


 

Bill,

Nice photo. It is actually SN MW01412. This car was rebuilt from an original Fitzhugh Luther flat car. It was listed as a gondola in the 1928 pre-merger valuation, but I think always a flat car in the ORERs. It probably received steel draft gear in the 1920s. I don't have a date for its conversion to MW service, but that was probably in the early 1950s. That was when the SN stopped giving formal MW numbers to cars, and just renumbered them?with "MW 0" before their original number. The car ended up in the movie train on the Fillmore & Western, and might still be there.

Yours Aye,
