This 52' 6" Railgon gondola was built in the early 1980s to a new design developed by Trailer Train's R&D department. The cars were 2494 cubic feet in capacity and built to be heavy-duty and long lasting, carrying steel ingots, scrap steel and coiled steel. Trailer Train employed several manufacturerers to build the nearly 4,000 GONX cars, including Greenville, Thrall, Pullman-Standard, and others.
CSX was formed through the 1986 mergers of Chessie System and Seaboard System/Family Lines, and continues to operate today across more than 21,000 miles of track in the Eastern United States.
