📋 About This Mod

Pennsylvania Railroad Class GLa Hoppers

Version 1. 0

Adds the PRR design GLa hopper to the game in five different prototypical paint schemes, plus a purchasable data only version.

Please be sure to update to the most recent version of the Tuckasegee Steel Works - Freight Truck Compendium and properly follow the instructions to update. You must manually delete the old version and install the newest version.

35,000 GLa hoppers were built between 1904 and 1928 for the Pennsylvania Railroad and several private coal companies. Over the years, the LV, B&O, and NYO&W acquired second hand fleets of varying sizes. The USRA took note of the success of the GLa design and based their 50 ton 2 bay hopper off of it, with the biggest changes being in the ends of the car. Many of these cars lasted into the 1960s and some continued on in MOW service into the Penn Central era. Represented in this mod is the PRR, NYO&W, LV, Berwind, and Westmoreland. This car represents a pivotal change in freight car design philosophy and it is my pleasure to bring this model into Railroader for y'all to enjoy.
