Thrall High-Side Gondola
This is a high-side rotary coal gondola produced by Thrall Car from the 1960s to the 1980s. These were primarily used on coal unit trains on western railroads but later on many were repurposed for hauling other commodities such as scrap metal.
Included are 13 total paint schemes: 8 covering some of the most notable owners of these railcars, 2 recolorable generic paint schemes, as well as 3 fictional paint schemes for some of the eastern railroads, based on similar-looking 100 ton Thrall woodchip gondolas. Most of these gondolas become available in-game in the 1980s and 1990s and can haul the same cargo types as the base-game USA 1950 gondola.
The following paint schemes are included, with a single road number for each:
– Santa Fe (Early)
– Santa Fe (Late)
– Burlington Northern
– David Joseph Co.
– Denver & Rio Grande (Early)
