Thanks, Todd! I would bet it was an ex-PRR G36, but I would love to see those pics.
Thanks!]

Hi Elden,
Bethlehem Steel in Bethlehem, PA shipped large steel plates in the 1960s-70s that had to be loaded diagonally on edge in gondolas to fit in the clearance diagram. I have some slides somewhere of a PC gon or two with the wooden rack that supported the plate and maybe with a plate load. This maybe past the era of your interest, but if you want a scan, let me know, and I'll have to dig to see if I can find the slides.
