QUOTE: Originally posted by CShaveRR There are 300 of these cars, GNTX 295000-295299, being built by National Steel Car. Less yellow on the sides and ends than the old GONX cars, and these are 66-footers. Very unusual-looking, with an inward slope to the sides below the floors. There will also be a GNTX series 297000-297299; I haven't seen any of these yet, so don't know who's building them. They will be as long and as tall as the 295000s, but are six inches or so narrower in inside width. TTX has also been assigned reporting marks GNDX; I haven't found out anything about what, who, where (numbers), or how many yet.
QUOTE: Originally posted by DPD1 I would bet a lot of these will make their way onto the EJ&E. They are a huge gon user, and have recently gotten rid of some of their own gon fleet. Dave -Rail Radio Online-Home of the "TrainTenna" RR Monitoring Antenna- http://eje.railfan.net/railradioonline
