I came across this interesting ebay listing, it appears to be a Mantua 40' flatcar in black with the Santa Fe printing from the 50' flatcar. I've never seen this before, wondering if it is a common item I just don't know about or an interesting variation?

| Tyco recycled this artwork for the 50' car. You can look it up on Tony Cook's HO Resource for years of production, but it dates to the late '50s Mantua era.
