Numbered in the 50000-50499 series these cars were used in general service on the NP, in particular coal and ore service. Additional groups of cars were built with just minor changes in construction, primarily on the underframe. Over their long service lives many were assigned to pulpwood loading, and many more were given extended height sides for use in woodchip and beet loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween 1966 and 1968 groups of these cars were renumbered into the 58250-58749 series. Some cars lasted into the BN era, though it is unlikely that many got more than a patch out paint job at this late date. The last cars were removed from service in 1982, although some still soldiered on in BN work service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned from original blueprints and field measurements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully detailed interior and underframe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRapido semi-scale metal couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree-rolling trucks with turned metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate paint and decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple road numbers per scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 18”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Preliminary artwork shown\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rapido Trains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54436758913237,"sku":"RAP163013A","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/rapido-trains-163013a-ho-scale-40-drop-bottom-gondola-rio-grande-d-rgw-varies.png?v=1785951976","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/rapido-trains-163013a-ho-scale-40-drop-bottom-gondola-rio-grande-d-rgw-varies","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
