Photo: Gondola At Lumber Yard (Circa 1920s-1930s) A photo from University of Utah Library: https://collections.lib.utah.edu/ark:/87278/s6cv5566 This photo can be enlarged quite a bit. I don't think this is a Colorado & Southern Railway gondola as the reporting marks are suspect. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA

Bob, Carnegie Steel Co. A car with similar lettering is shown in the 1931 CBC, page 239, or in Gregg Reprint No. 46. No, this isn't a lumber yard. It is a steel stock yard, though I'm not sure whether it is the shipping point or the destination. Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

Carnegie Steel Co.
If I recall correctly, a different car with the same reporting marks previously appeared within the last few days.

Can't make out the lettering at the far end of the car, but per the reporting marks list from pwrr.org, CS should be Colorado Southern. A close possibility may be:

CSCD CASCADE & COLUMBIA RIVER RAILROAD CO. The only other close marks (the first 3 letters same) per that list is CSCX which would be an obvious difference. The shape of letters D and O in the font used would be partly similar but still should be different enough to distinguish. Thoughts? Tim Barney

Sheesh! The EXACT SAME photo was posted in early May by Claus Schlund. The reporting marks are CSCO, not CSCD, and not CSCX.
To repeat, both Garth, and the previous discussion, this car, CSCO 534, is owned by Carnegie Steel. I suggest that the entire thread be deleted as Bob's original posting repeated Claus' Regards, Bruce Smith Auburn, AL

That's a pretty loooong gondola. Try Carnegie Steel Company (C.S.CO.).
