This PS-2 hopper with Bettendorf trucks was built in August of
1957 in a series of 400 cars. The Pullman-Standard all-welded
steel, 2,003 cubic-foot two bay covered hopper would become one
of the most popular cars of its type with railroads and private
industry. It was designed to haul everything from powdered chemicals,
to grains, to construction materials such as sand or cement. Versatile
and durable, this car continued in revenue service into the early
2000’s, and was sometimes found later in MOW service. |
