When I worked on the Santa Fe in the 1960's those low side gons were used for lots of things as well. For a while I had a regular assignment firing on a local that serviced the ATSF boneyard that held rusty old boxcars, cabeese, flats, etc. We would pull those gons out full to the prim with bits and pieces heading for the smelter or God knew where. I recall it especially because on one of those runs a chip of rusty metal embedded in one eye, resulting in a painful trip to the eye doc to get it removed. Roy Inman
