There were three series of gondolas for number 72071.  The first was CB&N #7000-7499, 33' 5½" length built by Pullman in 1885, and renumbered to 72000-72478 (GB-1) in 1900.  These were wood-sided, probably like flat cars with side supports.  They kept these numbers until 1911 when the remaining cars were renumbered again to 70030-70068.  

This renumbering allowed the number series to be allocated to the 40' GA-9's (71200-72199) that were built by AC&F in 1912. These were steel cars with 7 outside ribs and were on the roster until 1936.

 

The third series was 71200-71299, 41' 6" GS-8 gons that had been built at Galesburg in 1935 and 1936 as 76000-76999 and renumbered to 71200-71299 in 1961.

Subject: [CBQ] CBQ 72071

I have a relatively old photo from around Summit, MT. Included in the photo is CBQ 72071 – a gondola? 

I am trying to determine a general time frame that the photo was taken. 

Would anyone happen to know when this series of cars was put in service? 

Thanks,
