This
50’ gondola with fishbelly sides, drop ends and crushed stone
load is painted brown with white logo and lettering. It
was built by National Steel Car in October 1954, serviced in April
1957, and runs on Roller Bearing trucks. The PGE was
incorporated in 1912 to build a line from Vancouver to a connection
with the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTP) at Prince
George. The British Columbia government acquired all stock in
1918 and in 1972 changed their name to British Columbia
Railway with reporting marks BCOL and BCIT (international service
cars). Some PGE-marked cars still remain on their roster. Cars
with PGE reporting marks were no longer listed by January 2008.
