Palmer Coking Coal / Pacific Coast Coal

Major history article in this morning's The Seattle Times.
Enter: seattle times - palmer coking into GOOGLE

Includes photo of inside-braced and outside-braced bottom-dump gondolas being loaded at Black Diamond. May be helpful to modelers of that era.

I remember watching trains of these cars passing thru Renton on what is now the Wichita 737 fuselage route to the Boeing plant.

Great Northern later bought the line and delivered coal to the University of Washington via what is now the Burke Gillman trail.
