One of the benefits of drop end gondolas is the capability of carrying loads longer than the gondola itself. In this case, long utility poles have been loaded into 65’ mill gondolas, and the overhanging load protected by a flat buffer car. Northern Pacific was a Class 1 Railroad formed in 1864, and eventually acquired in 1970 by Burlington Northern Railroad through mergers, which went on to merge with Santa Fe, becoming BNSF.
