Union Pacific 50’ gondola with fishbelly sides #30254

Union Pacific

Roadnumber 30254

These 50’ gondolas with fishbelly sides and drop ends are synthetic red with yellow lettering and run
on Bettendorf trucks. Built in 1957, as part of series 30000-30699, these cars filled the need for
specialized gondolas. Eventually, these cars were rebuilt and reduced to 68-ton capacity due to added
adjustable bulkheads and car covers to better protect the loads they carried.
