AAR FM class 50 Ton Flat Car Project Information |
The AAR class FM 53'6" flat cars were among the most common type flats used during the heyday of the steam era with more than two dozen railroads utilizing them in many cases until near the end of the last century. Many road names will be represented in our production as will multiple road numbers for consist building. Shown below are some of the roads that used these flat cars: |
||||
| Atlantic Coast Line | Chesapeake & Ohio | Chicago Great Western | Monon | Chicago & North Western |
| Clinchfield | Denver & Rio Grande Western | Elgin Joliet & Eastern | Missouri Pacific | Illinois Terminal |
| Kansas City Southern | Louisville & Nashville | Minneapolis & St Louis | Nickel Plate | Northern Pacific |
| Rock Island | Soo Line | Cotton Belt | Union Pacific | Western Maryland |
Additionally, our plans call for the development of individually available prototypical loads including detailed loading hardware so that our flats can be customized for specific uses. The loads will be of a quality appropriate for our flat car models and not plastic. |
