Cool

An excuse to start a new topic. We have cabs, racks, tank cars, hoppers, coil cars, box cars, and now................ gondolas!

These are my favorites because of their utilitarian use. Here are some scans of two I took in Dolores Yard in Alemeda, CA around 1995.

Who is this? Alabama and Mississippi, I think?

I remember that this was the first speed lettering I had seen on a freight car.

Network Rail 'Falcon' box open, looking very American!



More traditionally British looking is this 1950's built vacuum braked iron ore wagon, seen here in MOW service in 1999. This wagon will likely be razor blades by now as there are no more vacuum brake workings on the main line...

Caught the following in a UP freight train Sunday, July 28.
A Missouri Pacific gon with pipe load.


A Rio Grande gon, with what appears to be steel shavings. Gonna have to trust me on the DRGW car!! Almost didn't see it until it was too late. And no chance for another photo. Could barely read lettering, as car was slightly filthy!
