The load of Company Coal that was unloaded around the stockyards at Montgomery in 1967 was in a 55 or 65 foot mill gon.  That is also what we used for the loads out of there to the strip mines where all the company refuse went.

Most of the remaining gons were in company coal service. The coal company shippers almost always ordered 55 ton hoppers for coal yards and other retail dealers. Retail dealers didn't like to hand shovel the coal that didn't dump out the doors. This was several tons. Places that unloaded with a clamshell liked the gons, also. These were mostly industrial companies.

Mark,
 
I missed answering one of your questions. By the 50s the composite gons were pretty much retired. There were some but not many. So coal would have been in the 50 ton hoppers and maybe a 70 but those newer hoppers were probably in utlility and industry coal.
