– Union Pacific (UP) “Automated Railway 1972+” is a great example to show the ever-changing auto parts pool world.  The UP acquired D&RGW’s fleet of two Greenville 86’ Quad Door cars in 1972.  The Union Pacific Omaha Shops repainted the cars into handsome UP Armour Yellow and silver colors complete with UP Shield on the left and the colorful “Automated Railway” logo on the right.  The models feature all of that accurate Greenville 1970 detailing, including Gypsum style crossover platforms, an Equipco 4000 hand brake housing, accurate Freightmaster End-of-Car Cushioning details with Wabcopac truck-mounted brake hardware, and 70-Ton Barber S-2 Trucks with 33” wheels and rotating “Timken” roller bearing caps.   The model features a return Route to the PC RR in Indianapolis, Indiana for GM parts service.  This is a sharp looking car! Don’t miss it!
