Flat Car
It should be noted the cars are not native to the Big Blackfoot. They carry a mixed heritage, CB&Q and NP (BN) It is interesting to note the attached sills on the bottom of the last car, would make for an interesting project.


Set of trucks, destined for the library car. They were pulled out of the muck somewhere up the Blackfoot.
