Ran into this listing on ebeigh:

We have seen these listed before, it may have been considered but it was never built so buy at your own risk.

What little I know of the FWRR I learned here.

These drawings remind me of the battery-op "cable" cars that used to run at Knott's.

Hi Roy,

Yes, this is from a blueprint produced for Bob Gurr way back in the in the planning stages. According to Bob, many concepts were tried for the look and feel of the cars. They obviously settled on the "Eastern seaboard horse drawn car concept".... The blueprint is valid and reflects some of the brainstorming in that time...

Thanks.

David,
It's an interesting California type car, which reminds me of early Pacific Electric interurbans. As for the cars that eventually were made: as you say, they were standard double-platform city-type horsecars. They would've also looked right as first generation trolleys or, for that matter, cable dummies. It makes me wonder if WDW might have been entertaining the idea of running steam trains, trolleys, and horsecars on the FWRR.
