GACX “BNSF Patch 2010” is one of two BN/BNSF patch-out offerings in this run of Trinity 4750s, and are in general lease service.  These cars are former BNSF swoosh cars that were patched out.  These models are interesting because they mimic GATX’s patching of the BNSF reporting marks and logos, however they retain most of the other data.  We offer a muted carbody color and a fresh paint patch out.  We also mimic GATX’s treatment of the grab irons, where they painted the grab irons on the sides and ends of the car white in a nod to rail employee safety.  These cars are formerly BN cars built in 1994.  These cars have a Phase 4 body and bolster arrangement, including the jacking pad design that is less long horizontally, and with an oval-shaped attachment hole in the center.  Additionally, these cars introduce the “bolt on” outlet gate design that was found on some of the Trinity 4750 prototypes.  Up on the roof of the cars is a carbody red painted galvanized “slope up” Morton-design running board, and the fiberglass trough hatches that BNSF applied are replicated on our model.  The ends of the cars include a body-mount brake system, Universal 9300DC brake housing, tube-style defect card holders, and straight-handle coupler lift bars, all of which are accurately modeled on our Tangent replicas.  Underneath the cars, the centersill dividers have access holes in them like they should, and a “angled style” AEI tag mount.  Don’t miss out on these or on our GACX “BN Patch 2010 cars – they go together.

Prototype Information:

The Trinity Industries “Pullman-Design” 4750 Covered Hopper, our new product release for October 2024.

Following nine years of continuous production, the Pullman-Standard 4750cf covered hopper was the largest mass-produced covered hopper design in North American railcar history. After Pullman-Standard’s demise in 1981, Trinity Industries acquired the design and production rights for the “Pullman-version” of the 4750 design (which killed Trinity’s own 4750 from the catalog). Shippers wanted the “Pullman-design” 4750 to be offered again. Produced between 1988 and 1995, Trinity produced the “Pullman-design” 4750 and met customer needs for this popular covered hopper. During that production period, Trinity made a series of refinements to the design. Many Class I railroads purchased the Trinity 4750, with BN, UP, and CSX ordering them in the thousands. Trinity 4750 cars continue to serve Class I, short line, and in lessee services today, hauling grains, fertilizer, salt, and other bulk commodities.
