This 50’ gondola with fishbelly sides and drop ends was built in 1950. The 154,000 lb capacity gondola is painted green with white markings and rolls on Barber roller bearing trucks. It is one of a group of 110 gondolas that Lehigh Valley sold to the United States Railway Manufacturing Co. in Washington, IN. in February 1970. In an arrangement between these two entities, USRM reconditioned the cars then leased them back to LV. Coal was the major source of revenue for Lehigh Valley, which earned it the nickname, ‘Route of the Black Diamond’.
