Providence and Worcester's Valley Falls Yard
Title:  Providence and Worcester's Valley Falls Yard
Description:  Green Mountain gondola on a rare visit to Rhode Island. A comment from Scott Whitney who worked on the gondola and works for the Green Mountain. There are a handful of others (402-407 I think) but they are different cars. When we first got this one we called it our "fleet of gondola" (singular) as it was the only gon we had then. It's starting to look a little tattered since I put the decorations on it. That one car has been a big profit maker though as it never seems to stop moving!
