ScaleTrains Rivet Counter (HO) Pullman-Standard 5820 Covered Hopper, PLCX
Pullman-Standard introduced a 5820cf capacity car for plastics in late 1971. The cars featured four bays and had a length of nearly 70 feet. The earliest versions featured a peaked roofline and 17 exterior posts per side. Later versions adopted the trademark P-S “clerestory” roofline that was also utilized on their landmark 4750cf grain hopper. While the oldest 5820 cars have been withdrawn from interchange service, many cars built after July 1st, 1974 remain in revenue service today..
