| In 
the early Sixties, Evans Products saw a need for specialized cars to transport 
coiled steel. The existing cars at the time were often 70-ton specially equipped 
mill gondolas. The new
 commodity-specific coil-steel car were built with 
a 100-ton capacity using a trough frame and
 body. The early designs were 
refined during the 1960s and eventually Evans adopted a 48-foot
 length as 
standard. Production lasted well into the 1970s.
