In
the early Sixties, Evans Products saw a need for specialized cars to transport
coiled steel. The existing cars at the time were often 70-ton specially equipped
mill gondolas. The new commodity-specific coil-steel car were built with
a 100-ton capacity using a trough frame and body. The early designs were
refined during the 1960s and eventually Evans adopted a 48-foot length as
standard. Production lasted well into the 1970s. Features: Die-cast
body Crisp painting and lettering Two removable rounded
