This Chicago & North Western 65’ mill gondola with
ASF Ride Control trucks was designed to haul fi nished
structural steel shapes and other bulky loads, and featured drop ends that allowed the gondola to carry loads
longer than the car. This particular car is loaded with a
large spruce tree that was cut down in Nemo, South
Dakota, to become the 1970 National Christmas Tree.

before arriving at our nation’s capital
