Ed,
The side stakes (ribs) appear to be spaced closer than the AAR design for these 65ft mill gondolas. I recall seeing some P&LE and perhaps NYC gondolas that also had close spacing, but I have no

Re: a load that spans two flat cars
I'm guessing that the location of this photo was Ogden, Utah. That's a UP tricolor signal at the extreme left hand side of the photo.
