Durn,....sounds like that could be the car. I went to the IRM page and found it in their freight car roster. No picture though. Built by, Haskell & Barber, 1913, 40ft, Wood Side Dump Gondola, #1185. Now I just gotta search for Haskell & Barber cars. I'm in Houston, TX. Long way back up to Illinois. Thanks A.T.

Paul - I think you can still SEE that car you wrote about!! I think it is at the Illinois Railroad Museum in Union, Illinois. You might contact them and ask. It has drop sides and drop floor "doors". I remember photographing it there in the early 1980's. A.T. Kott
