No drop bottoms at Gato--one high side gon on the siding.

The string of D&S drop bottoms in Silverton are in fair to poor shape, wheels still turn, but no maintenance in about 30 years since the last time they were used in work service before Bradshaw brought in the 4 EBT hoppers to replace them. Three of the EBT cars are still in service.
