Pullman Standard 70 Ton Covered Hoppers
The
P&WV purchased and placed in service fifty 70 ton covered hopper
cars. These cars were numbered 1950 to 1999. The cars were used to
haul cement and partly because of this additional equipment, the cement
traffic traffic increased 97% in 1955 over 1954. In 1956 an additional
fifty 70 ton hoppers were ordered and these cars were equipped with
roller bearings. They were numbered 2000 to 2049. Most were placed
in general service. The 1950 to 1999 series, when re-shopped, received
the new Timken roller bearings. |
