When did the Pullman-Standard plant close?
1982
1970
1990
2000
Answer
The Pullman-Standard plant closed in 1982. The plant, located in Hammond, Indiana, was once the largest railroad car manufacturer in the world. However, the decline of the railroad industry in the late 20th century led to a decrease in demand for railroad cars, and the plant was forced to close. The closing of the Pullman-Standard plant was a major blow to the Hammond economy, and it has never fully recovered.
