I agree - riveted.
Attached is a photo I took of 44586 that shows lots of rivets to count. The photo also provides some ideas for those who might want to model the extreme care that gondolas were shown.

It appears that these cars were of riveted construction; the rivets are more visible in the photo of the 44466 in the Color Guide. P-S built another series for EL, 100 cars nos.44100-44199 equipped with bulkheads, but otherwise identical. EL ordered most of its gons from Greenville, and all of these appear to be riveted as well.

Rich, your attached photo is from a series 44200-44599, all of which were built by Pullman=Standard
in May-June 71. It appears to be a welded car, and I am fairly sure it is. It's depicted on EL
Diagram book page 3C-9.

What would the other series you're referring to be?
