Nice catch Kim! Good to see those RDG reporting marks still in use.

I definitely agree that it is nice to see another piece of RDG rolling stock still being used.

I type in Brown because I can.

Excellent! Looks like one of the "Golden Gate" flats.

Sorry, I don't think that it's a Golden Gate car. It looks more like an FMn, which the ever-thrifty Reading made by cutting down a gondola. Take note of the ribs from the gon, that are not the usual (for a flat car) stake pockets.
