A product of Bethlehem Steel Company’s (BSC) Johnstown, PA plant, over 9,000 of these (89’ 8” over the strikers) cars were built throughout the 1960s. Visually distinctive from other long flatcars of their era thanks to their “C” channel side sills, these versatile cars were adapted for many types of service and loadings over the years, ranging from Trailer-On-Flatcar (TOFC), to autoracks, to structural steel loading. While the majority went to Trailer Train, many were built for various railroads, typically for autorack service. Many were “de-racked” in later years, being reassigned and equipped for other service - TOFC, vehicle loading, pipe service, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Athearn Genesis model was designed from the start to incorporate as many prototype details and variations as possible, based upon field measurements and builder diagrams, in order to appeal to modelers of multiple eras. Many new body variants, and other separate details were created, allowing us to accurately offer these cars in their different configurations over the years. With the addition of the Whitehead and Kales autorack, The F89FH now has available Bi-Level and Tri-Level autorack variants. You can rest assured of its smooth performance, thanks to a weighted frame for reliable tracking, and our Genesis 70-ton ASF Ride-Control trucks, and metal wheels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOperationally, these cars are appropriate for any layout set from the 1960s to the early 1980s. The Auto Racks would be fastened to the 89’ flatcar for auto service from Detroit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-cast underframe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic undulating safety railing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate Whitehead and Kales Auto Rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly or late train lines and cut levers per prototype and era\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomer installed end bridge plates (included in box where applicable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire-formed brake plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied hand brake per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied wire grab irons where applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical ride height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70-Ton roller bearing trucks with animated rotating bearing caps installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrucks with animated rotating bearing caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 22” — Recommended radius: 24+”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately painted and printed for prototypical realism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed, injection-molded body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler lift bars, trainline hoses, brake hoses, and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody-mounted, McHenry® scale double-shelf knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined metal wheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37801140781222,"sku":"ATHG69586","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/athearn-genesis-g69586-ho-scale-f89-f-bi-level-auto-rack-illinois-central-ic-930363_8f61bcdc-9821-489f-be58-71272e88fa76.jpg?v=1613519614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-genesis-g69586-ho-scale-f89-f-bi-level-auto-rack-illinois-central-ic-930363","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
