Re: 6200 flat cars

Hi Stan,

According to the 2nd edition of Sloan's "A Century + Ten of D&RGW NG Freight Cars", 6200 is a class 20 flat car, and 6214 is a class 21 flat car.

Both were built as 34' cars (6200 was a 25-ton car, 6214 was a 20-ton car).

Both were rebuilt in 1937, when they received cut-down standard gauge bolsters and were lengthened by 2'. Capacity was also increased to 30 tons.

I wonder if 6200 is in an older lettering scheme and had pre-rebuild data applied when it was last rebuilt?
