Boats on Flat Cars

Back in the Athearn blue-box era, I always thought it was a bit hokey to see their Boat On Flat Car (BOFC) kit. No longer - once I came across this photo of the motor vessel Aylmer being loaded or unloaded from Chicago & North Western flatcar 42543 at the Kingston shipyards in June, 1949:
