G-70-18 Gondolas:

 

	SP 351600-351999						(to SP 352118-352177)

These 60'-5" composite, drop-bottom wood chip gondolas were built by Magor (Lot W-4950) in 10/1960. They featured plywood side sheets, drop doors, rotary couplers, Universal hand brakes and 6014 ft3 capacity. They were nicknamed "kings."

A group of these cars was renumbered above the G-70-19 cars in the late 70's or early 80's, presumably they were rebuilt in some way.
