This
gondola with Barber Roller Bearing trucks was built for Reading
Railroad, and then soon after was merged into Conrail series
579394-579693. Later, it made its way to the Norfolk Southern
roster and was rebuilt in the 1990s. Founded in 1982 through
the mergers of Norfolk & Western and the Southern Railway,
Norfolk Southern grew further in the late 1990s with the acquisition
of just over half of the trackage and assets of Conrail Corporation.
Today, NS is one of the largest Class 1 Railroads with over
30,000 employees and operates nearly 22,000 miles of track in
the Eastern and Midwestern United States.
