Broadway Limited HO Scale Union Pacific "Fox River" Track Inspection Car – 2006-Present

Add a distinctive piece of Union Pacific's executive passenger fleet to your HO Scale railroad with the Broadway Limited Imports Union Pacific "Fox River" Track Inspection Car. Representing the car's 2006-present appearance, this highly detailed model captures the classic Union Pacific yellow paint scheme, updated roof detailing, and specialized features of one of the railroad's most recognizable inspection cars.

Originally built by Pullman-Standard in 1954 for the Canadian National Railway, the Fox River began its career as a passenger sleeping car before entering VIA Rail service. Following its passenger service career, the car was rebuilt into a theater-style track inspection car and acquired by the Chicago & North Western Railway in 1985. Numbered C&NW 420 and named "Fox River," the car became part of Union Pacific's fleet following the 1995 merger.

After a major renovation in 1997, the Fox River received an updated appearance in 2006, including the distinctive white stripe along its roof. Often positioned at the rear of Union Pacific's executive passenger trains, the car provides an exceptional finishing touch for a modern-era Union Pacific business train or Office Car Special.
