In addition to hoppers, gondolas were another very prominent class of rolling stock on the Reading, due in no small part to the significant presence that the steel industry played in the road's traffic base, including various Bethlehem Steel facilities across the system along with several smaller mills.  Clicking the links below will open the reference document in a separate window; clicking the camera icon (where available) will display a photo in a separate window.
