Red Caboose N PS 4740 3 Bay Covered Hopper Northern Pacific

Description

Railroad Short Name: NP

Manufactured from 1966 through 1971 by Pullman Standard, the 4,740 Cu. Ft. Hoppers were considered the ‘Standard of the Industry’ at the time. Well over 13,000 cars were owned by numerous railroads and private companies during this time. Today, many of the cars are still in service under new ownership due to mergers and the constant changes of lessees and private owners. Features unique to this car include the 16 vertical posts on the car side, a flat roof with 4 center through hatches. The 4,740 and 4,750 designs are often mistaken for each other, although the 4,750 has two more panels.
