The SVRy owned two regular gondola cars; #4070 and #4071.

In June of 1916, #4070 had its air drained by Downs and some draft bolts replaced by Lushman (sp?). Each taking 2 hours. Downs was paid 56 cents an hour and Lushman 44 cents. Car 4071 had some brake repair taking one hour (only 20 cents) by a guy named Dutch.

(btw, the hand writing is a little unclear on the actual names)
