| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class FM-3 94258 at Eola, Illinois on March 23, 1983, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Also seen is NP 87974. The following is from the book, CB&Q Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment, by Michael J. Spoor: In 1956 the Q introduced a new series of 60' 70-ton capacity flatcars designed to carry farm machinery. Built at Havelock ( CB&Q shops in Nebraska ) and classified FM-3, additional batches were delivered throughout the 1960's, resulting in 650 of these machinery flats on the roster by 1967. All had hydraulic cushioning, all-welded construction, and tiedown devices specifically designed for farm implements. |
