PC Covered hopper
Title:  PC Covered hopper
Description:  This is actually an Conrail hopper of former Penn Central. Since the "CR" is barely visable and the original "PCB" is more outstanding, I classified it as Penn Central and not Conrail. Currently this car went to CSX hence the PCB has been abliterated and NYC was added.
