SC Flat rescued by the Friends from the swamp some years ago at which time glue lams were installed for center sills as being stronger than the historic wood - no longer available in the local area.jpg
An SG flat car, rescued by the Friends from the Chama rail yard swamp several years ago, is now being converted to a rider gondola as requested by the railroad. When it was rescued, "glue lams" were installed for center sills because they are stronger than the historic wood (no longer available). The reconstructed rider gondola is designed to be easily reversible when the railroad needs the car as an equipment hauling flat. The SC flat was chosen by the railroad for conversion after previous cars selected by them were found to be unusable due to failed sills.

WOW! 53 sure looks great! Last spring she was a convertible with no roof, the headway on finishing that car is amazing.
