Railroads would have access to the cars by entering into a pool agreement. By March of 1981, even before the last GONX cars were delivered, 135 railroads were in participation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eThe Railgon\/GONX gondola was built to a proprietary design of Trailer Trains research department. These cars were built by major car builders such as Thrall, Greenville, Pullman-Standard, Bethlehem and Berwick. Each builder tweaked the design enough to produce visually distinctive cars. In total, Railgon built 4,000 GONX cars which were delivered between July of 1980 and October of 1981.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eIn the 1980s, a recession hit and the demand for gondolas dropped. Railgon immediately began moving those cars into storage and as of March 1982, roughly ¾ of the fleet was stored. In 1984, the need to restructure Railgon’s financial obligations caused 2,000 car leases to be transferred to Chessie and Seaboard System. In 1986, Railgon transferred an additional 100 leases to Kansas City Southern, and in 1987, 589 leases were transferred to CNW and D\u0026amp;RGW. The result of storage and low utilization was that the yellow and black livery remained visible into the late 1980s. Stored GONX cars were dispersed among participating roads and other available locations in the mid-1980s.  In 1988, the economy improved and utilization rates surged pushing GONX cars back in use. Through the 1990s, over 1,300 GONX cars remained on the roster and generated sufficient revenue use to be seen throughout the United States.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eModel Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e199 parts overall parts per car on this unique hybrid brass and plastic car\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eComprehensive paint scheme fidelity - all data, Light Weight ‘LT WT’ and Load Limit ‘LD LMT’ is correct for all the cars on a per road number basis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e81 wire parts per car, including: grab irons, pull loops, tie downs, coupler cut bars, air reservoir plumbing, retaining valve lines, release valve rods, brake rod and brake lever hangers, and side post tie downs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e34 etched brass parts per car, including: side sheets, floor, end stiffener plates, retaining valve bracket, air reservoir brackets, ABD valve bracket, brake pulley brackets and pulley mounts, brake step and inferior and superior cross-member gussets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eBrass side sheets on our gondola!

These were built by Bethlehem Steel Company and assigned the number series #17500-17699. Up to 1957, the D\u0026amp;RGW had a well-established history of using drop bottom gondolas for coal service. Although the Committee lot was not the first 70-ton open HT class hoppers for the Rio Grande, it was perhaps the most important pivot towards HT class cars. From here forward, the Rio Grande never looked back–both in terms of the Committee Design and its builder, Bethlehem Steel. Every new HT AAR class car that the D\u0026amp;RGW purchased was from Bethlehem, and every new, 70-ton HT class car the Rio Grande acquired was of the committee design. In total, D\u0026amp;RGW would own 800 Committee Design hoppers. This car comprised 44% of the total 70-ton hopper fleet.

The magnitude of this lot was so large that Conrail abandoned early attempts to standardize around 100-ton conveyances.
