Athearn has announced new RTR 53 ft Reefer Trailers

Fairchild

Frozen Food Express

PROTOTYPE HISTORY:

Trailer On Flat Car (TOFC) has been in service since the 1940s when it was originally developed to load truck trailers onto flat cars to streamline service and minimize transferring cargo from boxcars to trailers. In the early 1980s, after the railroads were deregulated, TOFC service exploded in North America. The railroad’s ability to adjust haul rates to be competitive with trucking meant new revenue in areas that the railroads weren’t able to successfully compete before.

53 ft UTILITY TRAILER MODEL FEATURES:

• Separately applied mud flaps

• Fully-assembled and ready to use out of the box

• Painted and printed for realistic decoration

• Spare tire rack per prototype

• Etched metal aerodynamic “wings” on some trailers (per prototype)

• Rubber tires

• Highly-detailed, injection-molded body

• Three fuel tank sizes per prototype

Order Due Date: July 31, 2021

Anticipated Delivery Date: July 2021
