Across the transition and early diesel eras, between 1951 and 1962, Pullman-Standard built 9-foot door, 40-foot long PS-1s for several railroads. Each railroad specified different doors and other appliances, and as production progressed the exterior sill and end arrangements changed. Railroads purchased the 9-foot door cars for various services, including forest products, machinery, appliances, paper, and merchandise, where the large 9-foot door opening made loading with forklifts significantly easier. These cars wandered all over the North American rail network into the late 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; color: red;\"\u003eLombard Hobbies = Big Inventory ∙\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; color: red;\"\u003e \u003ci\u003eValue Pricing ∙ Fast Shipping ∙ Great Service\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; color: red;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Tangent HO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49018098483353,"sku":"TSM26018-03","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/26018-logo.jpg?v=1789322477","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/tangent-scale-models-ho-26018-02-pullman-standard-40-ps-1-9-door-boxcar-southern-serves-the-south-repaint-1962-sou-31930-copy","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
