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;\"\u003eCSX \u0026amp; the 65' Thrall Mill Gondola\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"708\"\u003eCSX Transportation was created in 1986 through the merger of Chessie System and Seaboard System railroads, combining the operations of several historic eastern railroads including the Chesapeake \u0026amp; Ohio, Baltimore \u0026amp; Ohio, Seaboard Coast Line, Louisville \u0026amp; Nashville, and others. The railroad quickly became one of the largest freight carriers in the eastern United States, operating an extensive network from the Midwest to the Atlantic Coast and throughout the Southeast. CSX transports a wide range of commodities including coal, intermodal traffic, automobiles, chemicals, agricultural products, and manufactured goods. Known for its dark blue and yellow locomotive paint schemes, CSX continues to play a major role in North American freight transportation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"1449\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eCSX operated 65' Thrall Mill Gondolas in a variety of heavy-duty freight services including lumber, steel, scrap metal, pipe, and industrial material transportation. Built with rugged construction and high sides, the 65' Thrall Mill Gondola was designed to handle oversized and bulky loads moving across the railroad’s large eastern freight network. These gondolas were commonly seen in mixed freight and industrial service hauling forest products, fabricated steel, and other heavy commodities between mills, ports, and manufacturing centers. Painted in CSX freight car schemes, the cars became important components of the railroad’s modern freight operations during the 1980s and 1990s.\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;\"\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.
