Seen today in Houston, March 26, 2011. It meets the requirements of the thread as advertised, but not 2009-2010. It's 2011! Is that okay? Or do we need a new thread for 2011?
Wayne, just before NS took over Conrail in our area we were short of gondolas for our customer to load. When the local delivered there was one of these MW gons, including friction bearings, in the delivery. I called him because It was against AAR rules to interchange this car. He told me to load it. It was only going to another mill 20 miles away, so that was what we did.
