76 Gondola - Green

The 70-series freight cars are first catalogued in 1906 and are numbered 73 through 76. The #77 lumber car is not listed until the 1910 catalogue. The first freight cars have their trucks fastened to the frame with small screws and brass nuts in the same manner as the passenger cars. Later series cars have the trucks riveted on. They are lithographed a dark green with either painted or lithographed roofs on the cattle, box, and caboose. The early cattle, box and gondola all have brake wheels and black gold-striped frames. The later freight cars have gray frames with gold stripes. All the cars have black trucks with red stripes. These cars wind up as pull-toys with only one coupler and a slot punched into the opposite end.
