GACX “GATX Gray 2-1995” is the other one of two private lease offerings in this release of Trinity 4750s. This car is a stunner with its gray paint color and large, bold GATX stencils in the upper right corner of the carbody side. The GATX’s Trinity 4750s include the “bolt on” outlet gate design, along with gravity gates. Up on the roof of the cars you will find an unpainted galvanized “slope up” Morton-design running boards and the galvanized steel trough hatches that Trinity applied are replicated on our model. The ends of the cars include straight-handle coupler lift bars, separate brake wheel, etch metal Morton crossover platforms, and flexible rubber trainline air hoses! GATX initially leased a total of 200 Trinity 4750s, all built in 1995, although they picked up more Trinity cars in later years, which we offer as models as well. These stunners are now available, and photos show them all over North America, including in Canada and Mexico.

Prototype History:
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.
