From raw materials to finished goods to scrap metal, the steel industry has long been big business for railroads. Based on a Thrall mill gondola design, the WalthersProto model is accurately sized with sharply molded ribs and rivets that match prototype photos and drawings. Grab irons and ladders are factory applied separate parts. The car's underbody features separate brake components and piping.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 22px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 23px; color: #111827; margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eBurlington Northern \u0026amp; the 65' Thrall Mill Gondola\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qMYqUG_convSearchResultHighlightRoot\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-is-intersecting=\"true\" data-turn-id-container=\"request-6a0bb13a-3d14-832b-9dea-dad978bb366f-1\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative w-full overflow-visible\"\u003e\n\u003csection data-turn=\"assistant\" data-scroll-anchor=\"false\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-30\" data-turn-id-container=\"request-6a0bb13a-3d14-832b-9dea-dad978bb366f-1\" data-turn-id=\"request-6a0bb13a-3d14-832b-9dea-dad978bb366f-1\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-turn-start-message=\"true\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-id=\"d2c82002-2fcf-4846-a90a-573acfdce4d4\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"750\" data-start=\"0\"\u003eBurlington Northern Railroad (BN) was formed in 1970 through the merger of several major railroads, including the Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Chicago Burlington \u0026amp; Quincy, and Spokane, Portland \u0026amp; Seattle railroads. The merger created one of the largest rail systems in the United States, stretching from the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest to Texas and the Gulf Coast. Burlington Northern became a major transporter of coal, grain, lumber, and intermodal freight, serving industries across the western United States with a modern and efficient freight network. Known for its distinctive Cascade Green locomotives and large freight operations, BN later merged with the Atchison, Topeka \u0026amp; Santa Fe Railway in 1995 to form today’s BNSF Railway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1506\" data-start=\"752\"\u003eBurlington Northern operated 65' Thrall Mill Gondolas in a variety of heavy-duty freight services including lumber, steel, pipe, scrap metal, and industrial materials transportation. Designed with high sides and rugged construction, the 65' Thrall Mill Gondola was ideal for handling oversized and bulky loads across BN’s extensive western rail network. These gondolas were commonly seen moving forest products from the Pacific Northwest, steel products from industrial centers, and other large freight commodities throughout the Midwest and western United States. Painted in Burlington Northern’s recognizable green freight car schemes, the cars became important components of the railroad’s modern freight operations during the 1970s through the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 22px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 23px; color: #111827; margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypes in service 1970s to modern era\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for moving structural steel and pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-installed grab irons and other detail parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-smooth rolling metal axles with metal RP-25 contour 33 scale inch diameter wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 28px 0 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #b83a26; font-size: 26px; margin: 0 0 18px;\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 18px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003eℹ️ \u003cstrong\u003ePlease review before placing your pre-order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 18px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 22px; color: #111827; margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eHow to Place Your Pre-Order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWait for the button to say \u003cstrong\u003e“Pre-Order Now”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm you see \u003cstrong\u003e“$0.00 due today”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplete checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 22px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 22px; color: #111827; margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eHow Pre-Orders Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReserve your item today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will contact you once inventory is en route to us with your final invoice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturer delivery dates are estimates and may change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will still enter payment information at checkout, but as long as you see \u003cstrong\u003e“$0.00 due today”\u003c\/strong\u003e, your card will not be charged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do not automatically charge cards when pre-orders arrive.
