These mineral brown PS-2 70-ton 2-Bay covered hoppers are lettered in white with the "Circle/Cross" square herald. They are members of the 82000-82499 series built by Pullman-Standard Car Manufacturing Co. in May of 1957. The principle commodity they handled was cement with typical lading including sand, soda ash, lime, alumina, fertilizers, dolomite, soap, salt, plastic pellets and flour. Since many of these materials are highly corrosive, the PS-2 was designed to withstand their inherent effects and keep maintenance regulations to a minimum.
