ERAS: 10s 20s 30s
MODELS: PSC generic hopper w/safety
appliances 1911-mid 1930's.
ROADS: L.V.

So successful were the Pennsylvania GL hoppers that Pressed Steel Car Co. offered a generic
version to the trade in 1899. It was 18" shorter than the GL and used different door lock
mechanism. Thousands of these cars were sold through 1904 and ran for 40 to 50 years.

We have no photos of the late Lehigh Valley PSC hoppers but since they lasted until 1935 they
had to receive safety appliances and modern lettering. We have used contemporary lettering on
other LV cars to prepare a "best guess" as to how the cars would have looked during this period.
