Athearn HO Scale 7009 40' Boxcar New York Central "Pacemaker" NYC 174942

NOS (New Old Stock)

This 40-foot boxcar represents one of the most recognizable fast-freight branding efforts of the postwar era. Pacemaker service was introduced by NYC in the late 1940s to emphasize speed, reliability, and premium handling of time-sensitive merchandise, and cars assigned to this service stood out immediately in consists across the system. The crisp lettering, correct reporting marks, and proper car dimensions make this a strong fit for late steam and early diesel layouts, whether running in a dedicated Pacemaker block or mixed general service freight.
