Mike,

I think I can speak with some authority on this, the FRA/ICC has not banned wood passenger cars per se. There is a list of banned components in the Freight Car regulation, Part 215. If what you say were true, the fully general system Strasburg Rail Road would be out of business.

Amtrak has banned steel-sheeted cars from PV service, but I can think of a fair number of steel-sheeted cars on short line general system railroads.
