Athearn did the P-S version of this car in both Erie and EL, the only catch
is that the P-S version had asymmetrical roof hatch spacing, while the
Greenville version had symmetrical spacing. If you feel compelled to move
four hatches, you can make the correct Greenville version.

By the way, I have shots of these cars at Drew Chemical in Boonton, NJ - not
sure if they were hauling soda ash at that time, but folks who worked at the
plant told me whatever they were hauling was "really caustic"....
