Schuyler,

According to my data, Erie did not acquire PS-2's, so I'm unclear as to what 
cars you're referring to. It did acquire 100 3-bays from Greenville 
(21800-21899) that appear to have been built to PS-2 design specs. These 
were 70-ton cars used for intermediate density commodities such as salt, 
soda ash and fertilizer, and AFAIK remained in this type of service 
throughout their service life. EL's 3-bay PS-2's were grain cars acquired in 
two batches.

What were these cars used for when the ERIE bought them?  And what other 
uses may they have migrated
to?
