Most excellent. Especially love that 'Bird in the pic. Looks like a '62.

Looks like it actually used to be a mill gondola.

Those cars are pretty interesting. 44 cut down 1920' class GM gondolas into flat cars for handling steel to SF for the Golden Gate Bridge.

A few other pics.

Museum service.

~~Can anyone identify those trucks?~~

Taylor trucks. I'll have to see if that's in any of my books.
