Penn-Dixie Cement was born from the 1926 merger of four cement companies with plants in New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Georgia. Over the years, Penn-Dixie operated fleets of secondhand hoppers to move coal and limestone to their mills. These PDSX USRA hoppers were assigned to haul limestone to the mill.
