Description:   MTH: 30-72255 RailKing Halloween Ghost Trap 2024 Gondola Car w/Glowing Lighted Ghosts Ghost Trap #2024 O Gauge On its customer Web site the Union Pacific Railroad characterizes a gondola as an “extremely sturdy open design” for carrying “rugged unfinished commodities”; its “large flat interior design with side walls” is described as “more flexible than a flat car.” These qualities make the modern gondola particularly popular with the steel industry for transportation of loose materials like scrap metal waste coke and slag as well as finished products like iron or steel plate pipe structural steel and rails for railroad track. Other commodities commonly shipped in these versatile cars include mineral ores granite slabs gravel logs lumber railroad ties and even prefabricated railroad track also known as “panel track.” Until the advent of specialized coil cars in the 1960s another popular load for gondolas was coiled sheet metal usually steel on its way from mills to manufacturers of stamped metal items from car parts to appliances. As depicted on this model specialized covers — similar to the covers later used on dedicated coil cars — protected the raw metal from the elements during transit. Brackets on the covers provided a lifting point for an overhead crane and also allowed the covers to be stacked on top of each other when not in use. The name “gondola” actually predates railroads. In the early 1800s utilitarian flat-bottomed boats with low sides used to transport coal down the Potomac River to the Washington D.C. area were called gondolas as a spoof on the much fancier Venetian gondolas. Similarly shaped coal-carrying cars on early railroads earned the same moniker. As more specialized cars were invented for coal service the gondola evolved into the general-purpose car it is today. High quality traditionally sized RailKing Freight Cars provide detailed bodies and colorful paint schemes for the O Gauge railroader. MTH makes an enormous variety of RailKing Freight Cars including many different car types and roadnames. No matter what era or part of the country you are modeling RailKing is sure to have something for you.
