This 50’ steel-side, 14-panel fixed
end gondola with low cover was originally built in April of 1953. It
was rebuilt and renumbered in November 1957, at Omaha along with nine
other gondolas for steel plate loading. It is faster and less expensive
to load a car of this type with a crane as opposed to loading a box
car with a similar load. This series is described as equipped with adjustable
bulkheads and removable roofs for coil tin plate loading and were not
suitable for general use.
