N Scale - 65' Mill Gondola

Rock Island Rd# 2800

Built in 1953 by Pullman Standard, this 65’ mill gondola was designed to haul finished structural steel shapes and other bulky loads, and featured drop ends that allowed the gondola to carry loads longer than the car. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad was founded in 1852 and operated on over 10,000 miles of track until 1980, when it was disbanded and operations and equipment absorbed by several other roads.
