    Does anyone have measured drawings or details on Norfolk Southern's Top Gons? I'm looking for details of the square bottom tubs. I know that NS rebuilt many versions of coal gons, but I'm looking for anything on the most common, which I think are G85Rs.

    Also are Top Gons used in rotary dump only? From what I can see from a few railfan pics is that the square tub does not open.

    If anyone is near the operating areas of these, would it be possible to get a few close up pics with a yard stick? As long as it doesn't require trespassing, of course! [​IMG]

    Thanks!!
