Very cool.
Not familiar with that era or that railway but what are the little tracks between the normal tracks? One shows a little cart on one of the tracks.

Since this thread some days ago, I ran across a link on another list to one of the fabulous Jack Delano WWII era photos on Shorpy which just happens to feature an IC GS gondola in the foreground. I haven't studied the cars in detail, but at first glance possibly combining Ed L's Sacto 2011 SP gon kit with ends from the DPH USRA gon would be close. If combining those two cars is too costly, ends from an AF gondola might do (although you lose the inside rib detail). Also lots of neat loaded cars, a Ball Line Mather boxcar, a far-traveling Boston and Albany box car and a PRR quad hopper so dirty it looks like it's painted black are visible in the photo. http://www.shorpy.com/node/1605?size=_original Have fun!
