Walthers 92018604 85ft ACF 48-Seat Diner Union Pacific Heritage Fleet-Lighted
Model: UPP #4804 City of Los Angeles (Armour Yellow, gray, red)
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.

Two 48-seat dining cars have been named for UP's flagship Streamliner, "The City of Los Angeles." Both were delivered new in 1949 from American Car & Foundry. The current car, #4808, was acquired from Northern Rail Car in 1991.
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.
