PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:

Gondolas are low-sided railroad cars that are used for hauling bulky loads
that don’t need protection from the weather. The Roundhouse 40’ gondola
is representative of steel-bodied cars that began appearing on the rails in
the early 1920s, and a few survive today working for modern roads and
contractors.
