N P&LE 70T HOP #3542

Pittsburgh & Lake Erie was slow to adopt parent New York Central’s cigar band logo but a version of it began to appear on these hoppers circa 1962. Called the Little Giant, P&LE was just 233 miles long but was so busy they required a fleet of 25,000 freight cars to keep their customers supplied. That’s an astonishing 107 cars for every mile of mainline! This run will be available in 6 road numbers.
