I'll ry to take an educated guess on this.
6200, 6214 and 6314 are very similar. They have a large steel center beam that is hard to see under all the other wood. I worked on 6200 and assumed the other two were the same.
According to the old Preservation Study, steel reinforced wooden flat cars 6205, 6206, 6210, 6212, 6216, 6218 and 6219 also were on the property in the early 70's but were owned by Scenic. 6205 was later converted to Observation Car 301. I don't know what became of the others.
