I can see why someone might think that 205 might have been a passenger car at one point, based on length alone.  That 36 foot length I'm sure was coupler to coupler.  Edaville would have stuck their steel platforms on the end, which are probably about 3 feet wide.  Indeed MNG wanted us to remove the steel platforms and make it a normal flatcar.
