Product Information:


A key part of Union Pacific's public relations programs, 48 historic passenger cars and three E9 diesels make up part of the famed Heritage Fleet. Many were originally purchased for the City Streamliners, and have been carefully restored and updated to full operating condition. Today, they're finished in a modern Armour Yellow scheme, and the cars carry names of important cities, famous trains and key people in the railroad's long history. In service, these rolling goodwill ambassadors travel system-wide and beyond, behind UP's restored steam and diesel locos, to attend a wide range of public and special events every year.

Early or Late lettering schemes as noted in two versions
Factory-printed name with number decal for pre-1987 cars
Factory-printed name and UPP number for post-1994 cars
Factory-installed grab irons
Prototypically accurate window tinting and gaskets as appropriate
Modeler-installed extended drawbars for 22" radius curves included
Correct 36" RP-25 metal wheelsets
Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers


PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct prototype length and feature full underbody detail to match the prototypes, a minimum 24" radius is recommended for operation.

One of five original coaches now in the Heritage Fleet, this car was delivered new in 1954 from American Car & Foundry with seating for 44 patrons. Today, UPP #5473 is named for the UP train that connected Portland and Chicago for over 40 years.
