Probably something to do with loading pallet freight, but we'll see. I asked about them on the Modern Freight Car List on YahooGroups for the heck of it..

The quote I got back on the list..

"Not quite canstock exactly, but canned goods, mainly for Cambell's soup loading, at least at first. I'm surprised you didn't see any in Cali as WP leased some, WPRX/WP 96043-96118, ex-PC in 1978-79."

Looks like alot of railroads wound up with FGE cars as well.

"True, but Art did note not seeing them in California, so I just mentioned the WP cars. Besides WP, PC's 260 cars also went to CNW, DT&I and FEC at about the same time. Other roads that got them new were B&O, C&O, EL (CR) and L&N."

Thanks to Jim Eager for the info..

If you're on MFCL, I presume you also know about the early FGE cars from Moloco (and in HO)
