In order to improve traffic safety the gondola is equipped with a new system of separate braking carts. Overhaul of the new gondola is increased to 32 years, whereas mileage of nowadays produced analogues is 22 years. A prototype model of a new gondola car has passed a set of static and dynamic tests and the gondola car was recommended by the inter- ministerial commission for the certification in UkrCEPRO (Ukrainian Certification of Production) and RC FRT (Register on certification of the Federal Railway Transport).

The gondola car was retrieved by truck, one trip for the body and a second trip for the trucks. In 1936, Tuckerton Railroad requested abandonment proceedings. Alternatives to TRR operations were considered by the on-line businesses. The most likely carrier would have been the Central Railroad of New Jersey , operating the line from its Toms River branch which terminated in Barnegat. The CNJ declined, stating the time to get to Barnegat was already 8 hours, and a trip further to Tuckerton and back would have required overtime hours, and that would have not been profitable for the little traffic moved. On January 31, 1936, the last train ran on the TRR.

MMA Mack Point yard, Searsport, Maine Hopper cars are freight cars used to transport dry bulk commodities such as coal, ore, grain, track ballast, and the like. This type of car is distinguished from a gondola car (US) or open wagon (UIC) in that it has opening doors on the underside or on the sides to discharge its cargo. The development of the hopper car went along with the development of automated handling of such commodities, with automated loading and unloading facilities. There are two main types of hopper car: open and covered; Covered hopper cars are used for cargo that must be protected from the elements (chiefly rain) such as grain, sugar, and fertilizer.

Specialists of the Design Management of SVGZ offer consumers of railway equipment a new model of gondola universal model 12 - 963, which fully meets the requirements for the cars of a new generation. In comparison with the mass-produced gondola car of model 12-9046, a new model has an all-metal welded body volume which is increased by 2 cubic meters to 87 cubic meters. The cover of the side and the end walls is made of smooth sheet instead of the curved profile. On the end wall two zones and five efforts of the P-shaped cross section are set, which ensure high rigidity for the perception of stress in the collisions.

These included a group called Humboldt Organization for Protection of the Environment (HOPE), local chapters of the Sierra Club and Audubon Society, the Northcoast Rivers Association, the Phoenix Environmental Committee of the College of the Redwoods, and a student hiking club at Humboldt State University. A space for the gathering of bottles, aluminum cans, and newspapers for recycling was obtained on A Street in Arcata, with a move made to a larger facility formerly occupied by the Arcata Transit Authority a few doors away made just weeks after the center's launch. At the time of launch aluminum cans were to be taken to a local beverage distributorship for recycling with glass and newspaper transported by rail to the San Francisco bay area for processing. Glass was stored offsite in 55-gallon steel drums until a sufficient quantity could be accumulated to fill a railway gondola car.
