RE: (erielack) Three bay PS2 covered hoppers

Schuyler,

Your initial post did not clearly indicate which cars you were referring to. 
My second post was more directed to Paul T and his statement that the cars 
were acquired to haul sand, among other commodities. These are the reasons 
2-bay cars got into the discussion. Your post also included the words, "And 
what other uses may they have migrated to? I think most people would 
interpret this as referring to the EL years, since the cars were ordered 
just 3 years prior to the merger. I think we did address your question, 
including Paul's post about soda ash service. More specific information as 
to what shippers they served etc in the years 1957-1960 may be hard to come 
by, but perhaps someone has a photo or two that may help.

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