    Pic below is of SLSF 69012, a GBS 51'10" long gondola built in 1967 by St Louis Car, one of ten in the series SLSF 69010-69019. These cars were originally equipped with end bulkheads and cushioned coupler devices for some special service. From the looks of this pic, the special features have been removed and the car is now in service as a general service gon. Pic taken in Newburg, Missouri around 1990.

    ps - See Molo, page 92, for more info on these cars, which initially were set up to haul steel coils.
