| 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
2000â ™s, and was sometimes found later in MOW service.
