This Chicago & North Western 65’ mill gondola was designed to haul finished structural steel shapes and other bulky loads, and featured drop ends that allowed the gondola to carry loads longer than the car. This particular car is loaded with a large spruce tree that was cut down in Nemo, South Dakota, to become the 1970 National Christmas Tree. It traveled by rail and survived at least two derailments before arriving at our Nation’s Capital.
