1877-3 Flatcar with fence and horses

This flatcar no longer has the fences or horses that it originally came with. The trucks are plastic and lighter than the metal trucks on other cars during this time period, but the car rolls smooth and effortlessly. There is a crack at one end of the flat car, as seen in the top left photo below. Rather than being printed on the side wall, the part number is molded in fine print on the underside of the body (you have to rotate one of the trucks to read the whole number)
