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 1964 the 4427 cubic foot capacity
covered hoppers were introduced. PS responded to increasing
demand for efficiency by the railroads and shippers alike, carrying
more per trip then the 40’ boxcars with the signode grain door.
Designed to carry bulk commodities, such as grain, these cars
roamed the rails of North America for decades, attesting to their
utilitarian functionality. These cars can still be seen today in service.
