These three shots are of a old N&W mill gondola still in service. It is loaded with steel I beams.
As you can see, it still has it's 60's-era 'Hamburger Herald'! If any of you still have the old Walthers 50' 'waffle-side' boxcars, the CSX boxcar is the current-day match.
This last photo is for those of you who want to detail your model train track a little differently. In addition to the fresh ties set off to the side for future useage, notice the ballast. While fresh ballast has been laid on the outside of the rails, the old ballast is still present on the inside. Definately something different to model.
