Prototype Info:
Trailer on flat car service has existed since the 1940s as a part of North American railroading. Although intermodal trailer traffic would explode in the late 1980s and early 1990s with railroads perfecting hotshot intermodal freight operations. The primary commodity of early intermodal trailers was mail and dry non-perishable goods. Advancements in refrigeration units in the late 1990s would allow refrigerated trailers with food, pharmaceuticals and other perishable goods to join the list of commodities traveling via intermodal
freight service. The Atlas 53’ Modern Reefer Trailer is a replica of the extremely popular Utility 3000R refrigerated trailer prototype. The 3000R has been the most widely produced 53’ refrigerated trailer since its introduction in 1999. 3000R trailers can be seen on almost all intermodal trailer trains from 1999 onwards, making it a critical model for modern intermodal modeling!
