In 1979, Greenville Steel Car Company introduced the 3242 cu.ft. capacity, 65'-6" mill gondola. Three railroads purchased the car originally, and of the 750 total cars built, 500 went to the Missouri Pacific. Per the other railroads, Chicago and North Western received 150 cars, and Southern Pacific received 100 cars.

The Greenville 65' Mill Gondola is a prolific car, and a corrugated gondola of this type has been long absent from modelers. ExactRail is pleased to offer the Greenville 65'-6" Mill Gondola with the signature design elements that make this car so distinctive, including the corrugated side panels, box-channel end posts and oval-shaped 'hook and pull' apertures at the sill.

With interior corrugations and internal tie down detail, ExactRail's Greenville 65' Mill Gondola is one gon that will have you thinking twice about adding a load!
