The Southern's cars, series 286000-286999 (per ORER), differed from

other 41ft War Emergency gons in having six drop doors (class GA).

Other owners were Texas & New Orleans, ACL, Midland Valley, Wabash;

Alton got all-steel versions, which went to GM&O. Info from Lofton,

MM 1/92, pp 20-24.

All,

This interesting photo of a Southern gon in Jeff Koeller's Mt.

Vernon catalog led me to wonder if these cars are the same as those

offered by Funaro:

It would be an interesting variation on the steel gons I have from

Sunshine & Speedwitch.  Does anyone have a roster of the 41ft war

emergency gons?
