Class GJa No. 90205 was originally built as part of Class GJ in October, 1909. It was rebuilt in November, 1924 at Roanoke Shops and reclassed as GJa. It had recently been re-weighed at Roanoke Shops where it posed for this photograph on December 8, 1934. (N&W Photo / N&WHS Archives) |

The gondolas of Class GK and its subclasses were originally built in 1914 and 1916. These cars were rebuilt extensively at Roanoke Shops. Class GKd 100381 at left was built in 1928. This photo may have been taken shortly after the rebuilding as the stenciling reflects the placement of the lettering prior to the adoption of standards used throughout North America. Also, the car lacks any re-weighing Stenciling. (N&W Photo / N&WHS Archives) |
