Great shot, incredibly clear. But the mere thought of wanting to model that load gives me a very bad headache!

An old Chinese proverb says, "The modeling of a million piece pulpwood load begins with a first stick." I read this in a fortune cookie message. The other side of the message had a one-step tip for fixing the underframe of an InterMountain reefer. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA

Hi List Members,
Awesome photo! I especially like the gondola closest to the camera – it has
a hole punched into the side, and the side plates are rusted thru near the
bottom.
While I cannot identify the gondola based on visible lettering, the
construction and the rivet pattern tells me it is definitely a PRR class GS (or
GS subclass) gondola

Bob, (Here I go again!) I suspect this photo is somewhat mislabeled. The loads are may be shake wood on its way to a shingle mill. Nice photo though. Good find. Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

But correct 'Chingish' would be, "Model million pulpwood load begins first stick." No 'a' or 'the' in Mandarin, ditto prepositions.
Todd Sullivan who learned Chinglish from my dear wife who is from Beijing.

I like all the cars 1st car – cut (dimensional?) wood on bulkhead flat 2nd/3rd cars – random pieces parts 4th car – most of it looks like the parts that are cut off the outside of the log before they cut the dimensional lumber. Up near the top, there looks to be a cut piece (about) the size of a railroad tie.
Could it be for firing a boiler of some sort?

Back in the day "cordwood" was sold at various outlets or could be delivered to your home for heating purposes. pulp wood was left whole(not split like seen in the photo). Cheers & Beers, Bill
