Designated AAR class GTS, they are open top cars having fixed sides, fixed ends, and a solid bottom. The cars are usually used in scrap metal service. Loading and unloading is often accomplished by a crane with an electromagnet attachment. These 69’ plate C cars are found running throughout North America, both as single units as well as in larger blocks of cars. These exquisite Athearn Genesis models capture all the details and variations of their prototypes. Our state-of-the-art tooling replicates the 9 build variations as well as multiple top chord and end variations. Separate details include full brake rigging, grab irons and etched crossover platforms. Add the definitive NSC 6400 gondolas to your modern roster with these all-new Athearn Genesis cars. Show more
