Yup. Not necessarily in large quantities, but they were there.

Yup again.

It is OK to be wary of my enthusiastic claims. I sometimes even doubt myself.
Time to connect with someone more knowledgeable than me. You might ask Lee
Johnson or someone on the Steam-era freight cars Yahoo Group. Possibly Google
will bring some answers or the NMRA Kalmbach libarary.

Probably the same kinds of loads as used in any other gondola. Again, someone
else can provide more details than me. Ask around and let us know what you
learn. I confess to mostly repeating what I have been told by others who like
to specialize in that kind of knowledge.
Someone on this List can probably help out.
