During the mid-1950’s,
Pullman-Standard developed a revolutionary all-welded steel, 2,003
cubic-foot two bay covered hopper that would become one of the most
popular cars of its type with railroads and private industry. The
PS-2 had a dividing wall inside so multiple products could be carried
at the same time and its 8 round hatches allowed for quick, efficient
loading. 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.
