HO ATH PS 4740 Covered Hopper, Primed For Grime CEFX #15752
$39.12
Pullman-Standard dominated the covered hopper car market beginning
in the 1950s, thanks to the design success of their PS-2 series of
covered hoppers. In 1967 the 4740 cubic foot capacity covered hoppers
were the successor to the earlier 4427 cubic foot design. PS responded
to increasing demand for efficiency by the railroads and shippers alike,
carrying more per trip then the earlier covered hoppers. Designed to
carry bulk commodities, such as grain, these cars roamed the rails of
North America for decades, attesting to their utilitarian functionality. This
car type can still be seen today in service.
