ATSF ordered a total of 405 PS3215cf covered hoppers, which should be no surprise since ATSF was a prolific buyer of Pullman covered hopper products.  ATSF also happens to be the largest fleet owner of this car type.  The Tangent model replicates the delivery “gray” scheme, which includes the famous circle-cross logo.  The models feature a see-through Apex-style running board (straight and flat!), “Early-style” round roof hatches, body-mounted brake gear and Enterprise gravity outlet gates.  All of these features match the prototype ATSF cars.  The B-end of the car features all of the brake details and piping of the prototype, including a gorgeous Universal brake stand, modern brake wheel, Apex-style brake step, high-mounted retainer valve, wire piping details and a finely executed air release rod poking through the bottom sill on each side of the carbody.  Metal corner stirrup steps and flexible rubber air hoses on each end of the car provide durability.  These cars ride on our brand-new 70-Ton ASF A-3 Ride Control Roller Bearing trucks with Timken rotating bearing caps. These are sharp ATSF models.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-gallery woocommerce-product-gallery--with-images woocommerce-product-gallery--columns-4 images\" data-columns=\"4\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrototype Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eIn the early 1960s, railcar builders experimented with new covered hopper designs to help railroads move away from generic forty-foot box cars to special-duty bulk transport railcars. Pullman created the “PS-2” series of covered hoppers which included more than 20 individual designs that were larger in capacity with time, and the 3215\/3219 was the second “three bay” design produced. Pullman’s most significant innovation with the PS-2 designs was taking advantage of gravity, where lading was loaded through the round hatches on the roof, and unloaded via gravity from the bottom outlets. The PS-2 3215\/3219 design was produced between 1958-1962, and production ended after delivery of more than 1,400 cars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
