It's nice to see they replaced those old rough looking gondola cars;

Very nice..!! Date: 04/15/19 17:36 Re: An Afternoon at Benny Author: elwefel Slab service is very rough on gons, that's why you use your oldest serviceable cars. The new cars look nice for picture, but they will get beat fast, in slab service. Worked in the Metals Unit for Conrail.

Trespassing on NS property is illegal, but there are state owned views, too. Posted from Android |
