Remarks & Notes

Light Weight
The weight of empty aluminum coal gondolas show their rail bending capabilities as they sit atop 90 lb rail rolled only miles east of this location at the TCI Ensley Works. Just imagine the scene if these cars were loaded!

Pictures of things often unseen in the world of railroading. Interesting equipment, operations, and people that help the railroad go around.
