Ed & Tim:



Do you mean holes (round) or slits (for steel banding)? I have seen a lot
of slits for steel banding in the top chord of gondolas on the SP, I have
also seen round holes that threaded rod would be inserted into with nuts on
the bottom for tying down loads. So either would be appropriate.

Interesting, Ed. Do you have more information on these holes? Were
they equally spaced? How far in from the car end was the first hole?
Thankfully 1-1/6" is almost exactly a #80 drill bit in HO...

In addition, each car side had 26 1-1/6" diameter holes along
the top chord that were used for tying down loads.
