These 40' drop bottom gondolas are painted black with white logos and lettering. They were built by Pressed Steel Car Company in November 1936, serviced
in July 1964 and run on Bettendorf trucks. These tough drop bottom cars were more versatile than the open hoppers or solid bottom gondolas. They were seen
well into the 1970s, even after the NP merger with Burlington Northern.
