RRVW 1225 Wahpeton, ND

Car: RRVW 1225
Date: 2021/09/27
Location: Wahpeton, ND
Train: Oakes Turn

Notes: RRVW's job to Oakes left Breckenridge with 50 empty company hoppers, the vast majority being age restricted.

RRVW 1225 was built 03/74 as D&H 12341. When compared to my posts of RRVW 1158 (PS-4427) and RRVW 1214 (PS-4740), this shows a nice progression of the Pullman Standard hopper designs. The capacity and design of the PS-4740 was changed slightly to create the iconic PS-4750, which dominated the hopper fleets of the 70s and into the 80s. The top of the car was more rounded, distinguishing it from the Thrall's 4750 that looks very similar to the PS-4740. Additionally, the 4750 includes some beefy jacking pads compared to the hooks or slender pads on the 4427s and 4740s. Later versions of the 4750 would include even more rounded tops as well as a reinforcement plate that ran along the top, like the car to the left.
