Aha! That hint and a quick search turned up an article in the February 1906 American Engineer and Railroad Journal, pp. 52-53. https://books.google.com/books?id=lEmxCGAbOSEC&pg=PA52 https://books.goog

This was apparently somebody's sample car, built June 1897, that ended up as P&LE 3: https://historicpittsburgh.org/islandora/object/pitt%3A8223.1896.RR https://historicpittsburgh.org/islandora/object

Not the same car, but still a shorty: https://historicpittsburgh.org/islandora/object/pitt:8223.409.RR https://historicpittsburgh.org/islandora/object/pitt:8223.407.RR David Thompson

P&R 71000, class HTL, was built as an all-steel car with a horizontal (vertical staff) brakewheel. Some reading: http://www.shamokindivision.com/2010/11/06/reading-open-hopper-car-fleet-for-1952/ Davi

For the sake of posterity and search strings, the reference should be to CC&O (Carolina Clinchfield and Ohio), not C&O. The 111 gondolas don't seem to have made it onto the Clinchfield roster. David T
