Patched and Weathered Freight-Car Realism

The Pullman-Standard PS 4740 covered hopper became a familiar sight throughout North America hauling grain, feed, fertilizer, and other dry bulk commodities. As railroad-owned cars were sold or transferred into leasing fleets, many received new reporting marks while retaining visible traces of their former owners. This CEFX ex-Milwaukee Road model recreates that distinctive patched appearance for realistic modern freight operations.
