Western Railroad Discussion > UP's Newest Gondolas

Okay...I searched...but, did not come up with anything...but, I realize this has probably been asked and answered.

How many gondolas are in the newest batch that seems to be showing up on trains and in yards these days? Who manufactured them?

Thanks for any kind response.

UP is also getting new reefers from Gunderson. These are ARMN reporting. Will look out for the gons.

Have seen plenty of new UP gondolas in Southern California over the last few months, especially at California Steel in Fontana near West Colton.

The new UP's are Gunderson- Conarril Hecho en Mexico

The series is UP 96100-96399, 300 cars.

I believe this is the primary reason UP has ordered the new gondola's:

Colorado City in on the UP (ex-MP) main line between Sweetwater and Big Spring.
