Built in late 1955 by the CB&Q’s Havelock Shops, these 1,844 cubic foot capacity fishbelly gondola with Bettendorf trucks were later rolled into Burlington Northern’s fleet of cars post-merger. Burlington Northern was formed through the mergers of Great Northern and Northern Pacific in 1970, and then merged with ATSF in 1995 to form BNSF.
