The 6600 series flat cars were originally standard gauge boxcars but not like the ones at Antonito. They were from 62000 series double sheathed cars. The cars at Antonto are 66000 series single sheathed cars.
It is possible at the time when converted to narrow gauge, they were already converted to standard gauge flatcars, or they could had been cut down from outfit cars that had been converted from the 62000 series cars.
