(erielack) The EL Hot 100...honorable mention #11

List...

It seems like every class of tri-level auto rack was found in the EL Hot 100, except for this one.  Interspersed with all the larger groups of Trailer Train lo-deck cars with KTTX reporting marks were the class F89dh flats, which were found in several small groups scattered throughout the more numerous F89ch flats.  Trailer Train class F89dh flats were found in the number series 900606-900617, 901075-901091, 901740-901990, 902538-902677, 902851-902904, 903064-903143, 903343-903434, 903838-903996, 904155-904203, and 906700-906705. However, adding up all the small groups of F89dh flats gives us 40 examples in the EL consist sheet database, which would be good enough for 70th place in the Hot 100.

Model...
None.
