A Modern Freight Car Built for Heavy Service
Introduced in 1967, the Pullman-Standard PS 4740 covered hopper was developed to increase carrying capacity while maintaining the proven reliability of earlier PS covered hopper designs. These versatile freight cars became common throughout North America and continue to serve railroads today, making them an excellent choice for modern-era HO Scale layouts. The Primed for Grime® finish recreates the subtle fading and weathering seen on prototype freight equipment in everyday service.
