33’ smooth side twin bay open hopper

NYC/P&LE

These 33’ twin bay hoppers with offset sides are black with white lettering and run on
Bettendorf trucks. Built as part of series 75000-75999 these hoppers carried the NYC
shield on the right side of the cars in the 1950’s noting the joint venture between the
two roads and remained in this scheme at least until 1968 when PRR and NYC merged
forming Penn Central Railroad.
