Union Pacific

#MTL-501 00 191   Union Pacific   • Released December 2008   $32.85 retail ea. #501 00 191 #UP 9147 #501 00 192 #UP 9149 Painted gray with red The Challenger logo and white lettering. Built 9/39 on Roller Bearing trucks. With the trucking industry becoming a threat, the UP needed to retain business where the haul was less than 500 miles. This created the “Over Night Delivery” concept to meet the demand for next day delivery. The UP called it their “Challenger Merchandise Service”. The cars were to travel with the passenger trains between overnight terminals. Since they were used in special service with passenger freight, the paint scheme had to match/blend with the passenger color scheme and yet be distinctive enough for the UP personnel.

The entire Fe-26 class continued in auto rack service until the 1950s when renumbering began. 299 cars from the series were shifted to general purpose lading and renumbered 50001-50309. The number of Fe-26s in revenue service declined in the 1970s, all were retired by 1985.

These five cars were repainted with the “Feather River Route” mid-1950s scheme and renumbered into series 18501-18505.
