During the mid-1950’s, Pullman-Standard developed a revolutionary all-welded steel, 2,003 cubic-foot two-bay covered hopper that would become one of the most popular cars of its type with railroads and private industry. The PS-2 had a dividing America / Made in New Product wall inside so multiple products could be carried at the same time and its 8 round hatches allowed for quick, efficient loading. It was designed to haul everything from powdered chemicals, to grains, to construction materials such as sand or cement. Versatile and durable, this car continued in revenue service into the early 2000’s, and was sometimes found later in MOW service. This PS-2 hopper paved the way for today’s larger capacity two, three, and four-bay hoppers. Features • Separate Roof Hatches • Fine-Scale Cored-Through Walkway • 33” Metal Wheels • Proper Ride Height • Body Mounted Coupler with Blackened Trip Pins • Fine Mold Detail • Separate End Ladders • Etched Metal Brake Platform • Air Hoses Included 3 N Scale Rolling Stock Heavyweight 3-2 Observation Car With over 135 body styles available, we proudly offer the largest selection of N scale body styles in the industry! Our models feature details such as die-cast metal underframes, ultra-thin foot stirrups, windows, and operating doors and hatches. We also incorporate etched metal with some of our body styles to offer the most prototypical details possible. And all of our models come equipped with our Magne-Matic® couplers.

While these heavier cars provide a decrease in railroad cost per ton-mile for the Class I (Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe) Railroads; they will cause a significant increase in operating and maintenance costs for the shortline railroads in the state of Kansas.

  • Containerized Grain Supply Chain in Western Canada: Opportunities and Regulatory Barriers

    Containerized Grain Supply Chain in Western Canada: Opportunities and Regulatory Barriers

    Containerized Grain Supply Chain in Western Canada: Opportunities and Regulatory Barriers Dr. Barry E. Prentice Professor, Supply Chain Management I.H. Asper School of Business University of Manitoba Synopsis The containerization of grain is a growing trend internationally. Many western Canadian grain shippers would like to source-load containers on the Prairies, but most shippers are forced to trans-load at the ports after their grain arrives by other means. The problem is the Revenue Cap. This regulation creates a double disincentive that discourages the railways from moving grain in containers. In addition to the lost marketing opportunities for farmers, this regulatory barrier impedes the use of containers to serve as an elastic supply of storage and transport during demand surges. The removal of the Revenue Cap would encourage development of a contestable market based on a competitive containerized grain shipping supply chain to rival the bulk system, such that shippers could always receive the lowest cost means of reaching foreign destinations and the best customer service options. Introduction The most significant innovation in transportation during the past 50 years has been the introduction of containerization. Container shipping has grown rapidly because it reduces the cost of port handling, improves cargo security and permits the establishment of global supply chains. As the volume of world trade carried in containers has increased, ship size and port facilities have grown, creating a virtuous cycle of declining costs and expanding service. This productivity is matched on the land side by double-stacked container trains and drayage trucks that have made containerization the preferred global door-to-door logistical system domestically and internationally.
