In
1898, Pressed Steel Car Co. built the first all-steel hopper
car designated the GL. The Pennsylvania Railroad would purchase
several thousand of this design. Due to production backlogs
at P.S.C.Co. and flaws in the initial design, the Penny came
up with its own all-steel, bottom-discharge hopper car in
1904 designated the GLa. Approximately 30,000 GLa’s
were produced between 1904 and 1920. The Pennsy also built
GLa’s for numerous coal companies who were anxious for
the well-built and reasonably priced cars. Until the 1960’s,
this design was one of the three most numerous classes of
PRR freight cars. Although by this time, these cars began
to rapidly disappear from the PRR roster, a few made it into
the Penn Central and even Conrail rosters, lasting into the
early 1980’s.
