There was only one variation of #623, offered in 1953. Some reports indicate that there was a 1952 version, but Ted Hamler found no such evidence. Trivia: the Illinois Central is the only car that was produced with all four American Flyer number series: 600, 800, 900, and the five-digit number series.
