52' 6" Canadian Mill Gondola

Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo  (Random Roadnumber)

More Canuck For Your Buck! (Loonie Doesn't Rhyme...)

A true Canuck classic, this 52’6” mill gon was produced starting in 1943 and continuing through the 1950s for several Canadian railroads.

These cars and others almost identical to them were built in large numbers by National Steel Car (Hamilton) and Eastern Car Company (Trenton).

This mill gon was used in general service and travelled widely throughout the United States and Canada well into the 1980s.

Many remain in company service today.
