Re: Carnegie Steel built some of the earliest 65 foot mill gons

Hi List Members,
Some additional info, I believe I have found the approximate date when
these cars were ordered from Standard Steel Car Co – see Feb 1925 issue of
Railway and Locomotive Engineering page 61 at the link below. The car count (12
cars) and the tonnage (70 tons) is spot on for these gondolas. And so it does
appear that Carnegie Steel went to an outside builder for these cars!
Enjoy!

Oh, forgot to mention, the fact that these are the only gondolas listed
under Carnegie Steel in this ORER makes me think they may have been intended to
be interchanged and used for mainline service, not just for in-plant
service.

I have some more info on the 65 foot gondola CSCO 534... listed under
Carnegie Steel Company, it is part of series 526-537 in the Dec 1930 ORER.
See info at the link below.
In particular, “Note A” references these cars and sez “Cars in series 526
to 537 marked C. S. Co., Homestead Works”. The notes further indicate “Make
separate reports for cars marked ‘C. S. Co., Homestead Works’ to Wm. Donald,
Auditor, Carnegie Building, Pittsburgh, Pa. June 1930”

The car sez HOMESTEAD WORKS on it, this indicates Homestead Steel Works
which was bought up and integrated into Carnegie Steel.

it be Cambria Steel? They also built freight cars.
