Rich,
I do not know if the vin plates are reproductions or not as I have no pictures. The information is according the the latest 1967 Registry.
I have attached my updated spreadsheet.
Thanks for your list Greekz!
It matches exactly as I have the derailment cars noted...6 cars with a 'Z' stamp and 8
unknown.
The last (15th) car may have been completely totaled and thus not listed as a Sante Fe sold car.
You may have posted this list before as it looks familiar.
I believe you have mis-interpretted the registry footnotes.
A car is only noted as having a 'Z' stamp when it is known, maybe even confirmed!
If nothing is written about a "Z" stamp in the footnotes it is NOT known if it has the 'Z' stamp or not.
The first car on your list is #02363. Check out those footnotes!
They state the car was '
MISSING' the Shelby ID tag...not, NO 'Z' stamp.
I think the other 7 cars on you list will follow suit as unknown.
Our SRG theory still stands with Ford's complete takeover in late April / early May.
