PLASTICS COME CLEAN IN NEW PTL HOPPERS

Features of the 350 specially-equipped covered hopper cars, which northern petrochemical is getting through a long-term lease with Pullman Transport Leasing Co. The cars are fitted with the required 20-inch, screwdown hatch covers, have interior protective linings and pneumatic discharge systems, and have a capacity of 5820 cubic feet each. A new roof design requires no interior carlines and provides better footing for workers and quicker runoff of water.
