A key part of Union Pacific's public relations programs, 48 historic passenger cars, three restored steam locomotives and an A-B-A set of E9 diesels make up the famed Heritage Fleet. Many were originally purchased for the City Streamliners, and have been carefully restored and updated to full operating condition. Today, the cars and E9s are 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, to attend a wide range of public and special events every year.

 

  • Perfect for fan trip and excursion service
  • Modern-Era UP excursion scheme
  • Factory-Printed Car Names and UPP reporting marks
  • Factory-installed grab irons
  • Prototypically accurate window tinting
  • 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.
 
Delivered new in 1954 from American Car & Foundry with seating for 44, the car is currently named for a Missouri Pacific train running between St. Louis and various Texas cities from 1915 to 1948 when the new "Texas Eagle" took over its route.
