VGN 20078 gondola

[NW Mailing List]

Roger,
 
Nos. 22000 - 22099 were G5 class. I couldn't find a direct Virginian source, but this comes from the book "Railroading The Modern Way" by S. Kip Farrington, Jr., page 368. Farrington includes a list of Virginian's coal carrying cars by number series and class.
 
For those unfamiliar with this book, Farrington has four chapters on the Virginian. Published in 1951 by Coward-McCann, Inc, New York, this is one of a number of books by Farrington, several of which contain Virginian stories.
