Viewing Album:  A Gondola Mix
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:7/19/2012 - 7/19/2012
Album Info:Running through town on this overcast July day was another Canadian National train headed up by a CN/BC Rail duo, not too unusual. What did catch my eye mixed in the manifest was the variety of gondolas. Here are some of the gondalas that flew past and a couple rarer cars not often spotted in northwest Indiana.

GRW 4209 - Gary Railways
Title:  GRW 4209 - Gary Railways
Description:  A newcomer spun off from the 2009 sale of the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Rwy to CN, this one time EJ&E gondola now sports the "GRW" label. The frequency of spotting these is increasing in direct opposition ot EJ&E spottings while the transfer of one to the other takes place. It's sad to see the EJ&E disappear piece by piece!

Title:  LRS 166580 - Laurinburg & Southern
Description:  This former NS coil car bears a warning label of "Open Car - Do Not Cover" along its side, something that you don't see very often. Not sure why since these cars were covered at times when they belonged to NS.

WC 63248 - Wisconsin Central (ex-SOO)
Title:  WC 63248 - Wisconsin Central (ex-SOO)
Description:  This former SOO gondola has definitely not seen the inside of a paint shop in a long, long time. Have noticed that almost every CN train that passes through Griffith has at least one token WC car in it and very few are found riding behind anything but CN power.
