The order, he de- clared, is for more than $40 million and has been placed by the South- ern Pacific with Gunderson, Inc., Portland, Ore., for delivery of 2,375 freight cars over the next seven months. Nearly all of the cars are being built for the forest products indus- try and include 2,000 wide-door box cars and 350 wood chip cars, plus 25 air-operated gondola cars for moving copper concentrates. The announcement was made in the office of C.

Scholibo, Pacific Northwest traffic manager for Southern Pacific, said the new rec- ord order increases SP's contracts to Gunderson to a dollar volume of nearly $200 million for 12,840 cars since 1963.
