2008 SLHTS Model Car - 41'6" Gondola Car

Produced by Accurail exclusively for the SLHTS using artwork developed and provided by the society.

DSS&A 41’-6” Gondola Car

In 1953 American Car and Foundry built this 100-car series of gondola cars for the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic. This version represents the car in its original DSS&A 1953 paint scheme. Cars were numbered 4100-4199, all. These models are based on the new Accurail 11-panel gondola kit.

Soo Line 41’-6” Gondola Car (1960s version)

In 1961 the Soo Line inherited these eight-year-old gondola cars from the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic and gave them new reporting marks, but the number series was retained. Many were eventually repainted, as in this 1965 version. The small “D.S.” in the upper left corner of the car side indicates its former DSS&A heritage.

Soo Line 41’-6” Gondola Car (1970s version)

This mid-1970s version of a repainted former DSS&A gondola features the bolder reporting marks and COTS stencil of the time. By this stage in their careers, the gons were used primarily in pulpwood service, as indicated by the sublettering on the left-most panel.
