LNE covered hoppers to UP?

I saw this today on Railcarphotos.com and was wondering if anyone had the skinny on when these LNE cars went to the UP?



I might be able to back date that weathering job enough, provided UP got the cars early enough...

A good guess would be 1961 or 62, when the LNE went under and sold off what they could.

Thats pretty right on. The CNJ took some and the rest were sold off to other roads.

They're straight-up PS-2's, right?

Isn't that an ACF logo below the first "I" in 'Pacific"?

LNE sereis 18201-18400 built June 1957 by ACF.

This is assuming the third number is a 3.

Jason's right, they are ACF 70-tons.

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

Didn't catch this until now but, yes, that is the ACF logo. Was the PS-2 the only 2 bay covered hopper they manufactured then? I don't know, which is why I asked.
