65' mill gons

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Hi Listers,

    Last week I tried to post this question and never saw it come though.  My friend Craig and I were discussing Athearn's new 65' mill gondola and he was wondering if the N&W cars numbered in the 187000-187099 were similar.  I looked in my 1983 ORER and didn't find any cars in that number series.  The car numbers on either side are for 52' gons.  Also I didn't find any cars in the latest Arrow freight car roster.  Can anyone verify that this group of cars are indeed 65' mill gons from any era?  Build date, correct numbers series, class, heritage along with a photo or two would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
John Hecker
