This class G-22 gondola was built in August 1966 by Bethlehem Steel Company. It is a 50’ steel side, 14 panel, fixed end gondola with low cover and is painted black with white lettering on sides and ends. This 2240 cu ft, 176,000 lb capacity gon is designed to be fitted with a low cover. This common configuration accommodates the loading of long, low cargos that cannot be loaded into box cars yet still need protection from the elements. The cover is fitted with a weather seal and is made of reflective aluminum to help guard against heat. The crane loading of gondolas is also cheaper than the forklift loading of box cars.
