HO Union Pacific Track Inspection Car Fox River 1995 - 2006 Appearance Model (BLI9105)

The HO Union Pacific Track Inspection Car, known as "Fox River", is a meticulously crafted model that reflects an iconic piece of railroad history. Originally built in 1954 by Pullman-Standard, this car exemplifies a journey through various eras of railroading. Initially serving as a sleeper car for the Canadian National Railway, the Fox River transitioned to a theatre-inspection car for the Chicago and North Western Railway after being transformed in 1984. Renumbered as 420, it earned its name from the picturesque river important to the C and NW territory.

With the merger of Union Pacific and C and NW in 1995, the Fox River was renovated and painted to showcase its heritage. This model is a testament to the car's legacy, featuring individually controllable lighting, including ditch lights, marker lights, spotlights, and interior lights, which enhance its lifelike display. The Fox River model proudly depicts the car as it appeared under both Union Pacific and Canadian National representation, making it a cherished item for collectors and rail enthusiasts.
